Presentation of the exchange
My whole experience on the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs was unforgettable. First 2 months I had the chance to visit Spain as a guide for students on the weekends while during the week I have seen and learned how the company really works. I learned a lot of useful skills, even during the quarantine, working remotely. I am really grateful I did a lot of research regarding tourism in Spain and because of this experience, this is helping me build a strong foundation for my business plan.
A lot of my skills have improved or have been discovered during this internship. From marketing, to sales department, I was managing the entire trip activity of the company. The various pallets of activities made me learn how to manage every task, to focus on priorities and to have time to fulfill all by creating a daily routine. Mr. Shaz helped me improve my individual working skills, along with many others by letting me work in different departments and giving me the responsibility to take care of sales and clients (students).

Quote of the NE
The exchange was positive and beneficial for me and I would strongly recommend it for people interested in the international market demands. I can say I discovered myself here, this experience showing me a new perspective of what you can do in the tourism industry and how a company works from its roots.
Quote of the HE
We had a really good experience hosting Rebeka, she helped us in managing our trips business, she was responsible for planning, organizing as well as social media promotion for upcoming trips. On the day of the trip, she managed groups of students and assisted them all day long. We pushed her to work on her own so she can develop working on her own without any help. We wish her success for her future.
We recommend the EYE program, it’s beneficial for both companies and young entrepreneurs.
