Hello everyone, my name is Óscar de la Visitación and I am going to tell you about my Erasmus in Nicosia!

My Erasmus was with Frederick University, a highly prestigious private center in Cyprus that teaches degrees in fashion, industrial and interior design. My first contact with Frederick University was with Professor Costas Mantzalos and Eleni Gircalli, fashion and product coordinators.

Isabel Rivero, student in the 3rd year of Interior Design at ESADA Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) in Vilnius (Lithuania), from April 8th to 12th, 2024. After participating in the first ERASMUS BIP organized by ESADA school in Turkey in July 2023, I decided to take part in the ERASMUS BIP to Lithuania. It was a week-long program in the city of Vilnius, where three universities were involved: ours along with students from Latvia and Lithuania. Before the trip, we had several online seminars where we were briefed about the project to be undertaken and where we got to meet some of the Lithuanian and Latvian professors. The project aimed to develop a prototype of furniture using "videomapping" as the final technique, with the goal of critiquing pollution worldwide. For the project, we formed groups of six people, two from each country, blending different disciplines such as interior design, product design, graphic design, and multimedia. This allowed us to exchange a wealth of...

Claudio Baglioni, Graphic Design student at Università Iuav di Venezia (Italy) Erasmus+ Mobility for studies at ESADA from September 2023 to January 2024. Hi! I’m Claudio and I attended the 4th year of graphic design course at Esada. The experience was incredible, and I will always have a beautiful memory of it. ESADA is a multidisciplinary reality that offers students the opportunity to learn all-round design concepts and techniques, having a constant relationship and eye towards the outside world. Throughout the semester, during every single lesson I felt that I was studying not in a closed classroom listening to a frontal lecture, but rather that I was tackling real issues, current problems of today's society and applying my skills to truly interesting projects. I was greeted by an organized and friendly staff, from first to last. An attentive and very helpful teaching staff, capable of communicating and knowing how to include every single student, during and outside...

Ángela Aguilera, alumna del 3er. curso de Diseño Gráfico en ESADA Movilidad Erasmus+ para estudios en ACCADEMIA ABADIR en Catania (Sicilia, Italia) desde octubre 2023 a febrero 2024. Definiría mi movilidad Erasmus como una experiencia inolvidable. Después de vivir los que se han convertido en los 5 meses más intensos y enriquecedores de mi vida solo puedo darme las gracias a mí misma por tomar esta decisión y a todos los que han formado parte de ella. Mi llegada y adaptación en Catania fue muy sencilla a pesar de ser mi primera vez sola en otro país. El estilo de vida en Sicilia no supuso un choque cultural muy grande, la gente es maravillosa y súper cercana y esto es algo que agradecí mucho. Además de ser una isla preciosa con un clima y unos paisajes increíbles. He tenido la suerte de conocer a otros Erasmus de diferentes partes de España y diferentes países del mundo, desconocidos que con el tiempo se volvieron familia y que hicieron de esta una experiencia muy enriquecedora...
