In the experience I had in Greece with the GreenComp project as a participant I had the opportunity to witness the great preparation of the organizers, and also their cheerfulness and politeness. I couldn't have had a better first experience with Erasmus+ projects than this 🙂
I had the opportunity to participate through Go Alive in the European Youth Event organized at the European Parliament in Strasbourg and it was a truly unique experience! It is very important that such opportunities are given to young men and women, with the aim of their active participation in actions and projects, through which they can express their opinions and ideas while interacting with other people! A big thank you to Marko and Maria for giving us this opportunity, because it was an unforgettable experience!!
I participated as a Greek team leader in an Erasmus program in Paphos. The organization was excellent from start to finish, with impeccable service and continuous support for me and the other participants. The program was very well organized, and the reimbursement process was completed within a month of its completion. I will definitely choose this organization again in the future. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience!
The GoAlive organization offered me my first Erasmus+ experience, and it was truly excellent. Communication was immediate, and the staff were extremely helpful and willing to help. Thank you so much for everything!
The organisation it's simply amazing. The activities were interactive and fun. The traditional food very tasty. The place peaceful. I definitely recommend to work with Go alive. Be there when you feel most alive meaning Kozani
