Rosa María Company, alumna del 3er. curso de Diseño de Interiores en ESADA Movilidad Erasmus+ para estudios en JAN MATEJKO ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS IN KRAKOW en Cravovia (Polonia) desde febrero a junio de 2024. Hace mucho tiempo que tenía claro que quería irme de Erasmus, y puedo afirmar que ha sido una de las mejores experiencias de mi vida. Es una oportunidad única que hay que aprovechar, porque es inolvidable. Elegí Cracovia por recomendación de mis amigos que habían estado previamente de Erasmus, además de que nunca había estado en el país y me pareció una buena oportunidad para conocerlo. Los trámites previos a llegar ahí fueron bastante sencillos. En cuanto al alojamiento, decidí irme a la residencia de Livinnx, y ha sido la mejor decisión que pude haber tomado. En Polonia es muy recomendable irse a residencia ya que hay muchas y es muy fácil conocer a gente. De hecho, mi proceso de adaptación fue muy fácil y rápido. Solo en la residencia éramos 90 españoles y...

Marta Terrón, alumna de 4º curso de Diseño de Interiores en ESADA   Movilidad Erasmus+ para prácticas curriculares en la empresa OLIV ARCHITEKTEN en Múnich (Alemania) desde febrero a mayo de 2024. Recuerdo el miedo e inseguridad que sentía el primer día antes de entrar por la puerta de la oficina. Realizar las prácticas externas en Alemania ha tenido tanto aspectos positivos como negativos. Empezando por la parte menos agradable, venía de terminar el último cuatrimestre en la escuela muy agotada mentalmente, y además no estaba en mi mejor momento a nivel personal. Sin embargo, no podía permitirme pasar esta oportunidad. Reconozco con orgullo que las semanas previas al viaje fueron de mucha preparación personal, aceptación y meditación. Por lo general soy muy emocional, y sabía que iba a pasarlo un poco mal por el mero hecho de estar tan lejos de mi familia y amigos. Era un cambio muy repentino durante cuatro meses, por lo que me preparé mentalmente, consciente...

Ariana González, alumna de 4º curso de Diseño de Interiores en ESADA   Movilidad Erasmus+ para prácticas curriculares en la empresa STUDIOMATERIALITY en Atenas (Grecia) desde febrero a mayo de 2024. Inicié oficialmente mi movilidad el 12 de febrero de 2024 y la terminé el 10 de mayo de 2024, pero llegué a Atenas el 31 de enero de 2024 y regresé a España el 5 de junio de 2024. De esta manera, pude disfrutar aún más de esta ciudad y de Grecia. Una vez allí, empecé a conocer a gente y a hacer nuevos amigos, que en su mayoría eran españoles. Comencé a descubrir la ciudad y a enamorarme de ella. ¡No todo el mundo puede vivir a 15 minutos del Acrópolis! Me fui a Grecia con la idea preconcebida de que era un país caótico. Y así es, pero el caos es necesario entre tanta norma. El caos de dejarse llevar y no darle importancia a grandes cosas. La vida mediterránea, el mar y la calma de una vida tranquila es lo que pude disfrutar en estos meses. Esta experiencia me ha...

Aroa Perelló, alumna del 2º curso de Diseño Gráfico en ESADA Movilidad Erasmus+ para estudios en SCHOLASTIKA en Praga (República Checa) desde febrero a junio 2024. Mi movilidad Erasmus+ para estudios en SCHOLASTIKA en Praga (República Checa) fue desde febrero de 2024 a junio de 2024. Desde que descubrí hace años que existía el programa Erasmus para estudiar en el extranjero, tuve claro que era una experiencia que quería vivir. Y así lo hice, quizá no fue el momento en el que más ilusión me hacía, pero aun así me tiré a la piscina. Tuve miedo e incertidumbre por cómo iban a ser estos cuatro meses, pero me repetía a mí misma que si no iba bien, siempre tenía la oportunidad de volver. No era la primera vez que me iba sola a vivir a una ciudad lejos de casa, puesto que hace unos años me vine a estudiar a Granada siendo de Menorca. Sin embargo, esta vez entraba en juego la diferencia cultural y lingüística. Las primeras semanas para mí fueron las más fáciles porque llegué...

Marta López, alumna del 3er. curso de Diseño Interiores en ESADA Movilidad Erasmus+ para estudios en NATIONAL ACADEMY OF ART SOFIA en Sofía (Bulgaria) desde febrero 2024 a junio 2024. Siempre he sido una persona a la que le encanta viajar, descubrir mundo y, sobre todo, vivir experiencias nuevas, por lo que no dudé ni un momento en querer hacer un Erasmus+. Gracias a esta experiencia, he vivido los cuatro mejores meses de mi vida y los más intensos también, los cuales recordaré por siempre. Pero quien se va de Erasmus+ tiene que estar dispuesto a explotar al máximo esta aventura, y eso es lo que hice. Mi movilidad Erasmus+ tuvo lugar en Sofía, la capital de Bulgaria. No era mi primer destino ni por asomo, pero la vida me quiso allí, y menos mal. Bulgaria es muy diferente a España, pero no me costó nada adaptarme a ella. Me ganó esta ciudad en el momento en que salí del aeropuerto y vi la montaña de Vitosha tan cerca, que me hizo sentir como en casa, igual que cuando ves Sierra...

Aleksandra Marczuk, Graphic and Fashion Design student at VIAMODA (Poland)   Erasmus+ Mobility for studies at ESADA from September 2023 to June 2024. I didn’t plan to go to my Erasmus to Andalucía. I didn’t plan to spend there whole year. I didn’t plan to have tears in my eyes every time I think about leaving ESADA. Thanks to the principals of the university, professors and community I had chance to be part of, it felt like home. Experiencing the culture, fashion shows organised by Felix, group projects, lecture rooms and tapas with people connected to the art, I felt fulfilled with feeling of belonging to artistic life of Granada. Facing challenges taste better when you can make it with friends. Thankfully I met the greatest ones. Poland, Spain, Romania, Cyprus, Turkey, Lithuania, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Serbia, Italy and Netherlands never felt so close. I’m grateful to Viamoda (Warsaw) and Esada (Granada) for creating such a connections which change the...

It has been very exciting to meet  the ESADA's team in person, after working by email only in the last few years! I have been welcomed in the warmest way possible and I had the opportunity to see how they work daily with joy and passion, supporting the local and international students in their development as human beings and professionals! I had the opportunity to visit the facilities of ESADA, a beautiful building located in the very city center of Granada but also I appreciated  the specific spaces they use for practical works  and  also the modern technology they have to run the activities. I also had the great opportunity to meet professors and students. Very useful, in particular, was the meeting with the students who are planning to come to Abadir in the following...

The "last International Dinner" organized by ESN Granada in collaboration with ESADA was a memorable event that captured the enriching spirit of cultural diversity. Celebrated on Thursday, June 6th, this gathering not only marked the end of the academic year but also served as an emotional farewell for those Erasmus students who were still in Granada, a city that had become their temporary home. In the dynamic atmosphere of ESADA, participants enjoyed a variety of flavors reflecting the cultural diversity of international students in Granada. The "last International Dinner" was not just a culinary feast, but also a reminder of the value of community and friendship. Throughout the evening, students from different parts of the world came together in laughter, exchanged stories, and shared experiences, forging connections that transcended geographical and linguistic barriers. For Erasmus students, this gathering was particularly meaningful, offering them the chance to reflect on their...

Rita Nunes, Academic Services at ISEC Lisboa. Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training at ESADA, from April 22nd to 26th, 2024. My Erasmus mobility at ESADA was an incredibly enriching experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with the utmost kindness and friendliness, which made me feel at home immediately. Throughout my stay, I gained valuable cultural knowledge and insights into both internal and external administrative procedures. I had the opportunity to develop numerous skills and deepen my understanding of the processes at ESADA. I participated in various workshops and lectures that covered different design concepts. Notably, I attended a seminar on communication, which enhanced my ability to convey ideas effectively. I also took part in a workshop on tattooing, where I learned about the art and technique behind it, and another workshop on jewelry making, which broadened my creative and technical skills.

Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training at ESADA, from April 22nd to 26th, 2024. Upon my initial arrival in Granada, I was warmly welcomed by Félix Guerrero, marking an excellent start to my visit.

Exploring the university's main and auxiliary buildings gave me a deeper insight into the educational environment and facilities at ESADA. The Erasmus+ program was distinguished by the warmth of the ESADA staff, who treated us as if we were part of their own families. Daily,...

Óscar de la Visitación, docente del Grado de Diseño de Moda en ESADA Movilidad Erasmus+ de docencia en  FREDERICK UNIVERSITY en Chipre, del 22 al 26 de abril de 2024. Hello everyone, my name is Óscar de la Visitación and I am going to tell you about my Erasmus in Nicosia! My first contact with the city was incredible, it is a city cut in half by the Turkish invasion in 1974, this makes it very special, full of cafes, quiet but very alive and with an old part of historical buildings and another more functional and more modern, and full of cats! 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. The connection was incredible from the beginning, organizing plans and outings apart from university work. My Erasmus was based on carrying out...
