ICCS project was the right choice to make. During the course, I discovered what
a citizen project was and how to develop one while engaging, indeed, citizens

This led me to one of the most dynamic and exciting adventure of my life
until now. You see, this program wouldn’t be complete without its mobility
week. This year Barcelona was chosen, in my opinion, one of the best choice.
The Spanish and Catalan culture are an incredible unique source of inspiration,
creativity, and amazement on how they have shaped the country into what it is
today.
Starting by the Mediterranean food and moving on to the openness of the people,
this opportunity made me discover the architectural and historical richness of
was once Barcino shaped by the influence of the Romans, Moors, and Christians
in their own unique way.
I quickly found that, like the protagonist in the film “Lost in Translation” I was
somehow “lost” in a foreign city, but with a new appreciation for the beauty of
intercultural differences.
I gained a deeper appreciation for the beauty of intercultural differences, and
came away with a newfound respect for the complexities and richness of dif-
ferent ways of life. In conclusion, the Mobility Week program offered a truly
transformative experience. By stepping into a foreign culture and embracing
the challenges that come with it, I came away with a deeper understanding of
the world and a newfound appreciation for the diversity of human experience.
This workshop covered various aspects of Spanish culture, including food, archi-
tecture, and language. We learned about the unique traditions and customs of
Spain, and how they have shaped the country into what it is today. The work-
shop also touched on the differences between Spanish and Catalan cultures, and
the significance of the Catalan language in the region.
Intercultural experiences in Barcelona have been eye-opening for us. We have
had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture and learn about

was trying the local cuisine, which is known for its use of fresh ingredients and
bold flavors. We have also had the chance to explore the city and admire its
beautiful architecture, which ranges from Gothic to Modernist styles.
When visiting a new place, we are always eager to learn as much as possible.
We like to explore the local culture, try new foods, and interact with the people.
