Jeremy and Julie, two french participants of the Grundtvig Learner Workshop ‘’Exchanging Dreams’’, participated last week in a European day in Arras (North of France). During this event they told people about their experience in UK.

Between the 7th and the 14th March 2011, they participated in an international workshop which involved 25 participants from 5 countries (France, Hungary, Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom). During the week they took part in different workshops run by professionals in Leeds and Bradford. The participants learned about media and gained skills in photography, displaying exhibitions, editing video and soundtracks, creating a radio show and radio drama, all of which they will be able to use in the future. 

Jeremy particularly enjoyed the Radio workshop even if he thought it was ‘’ a little bit stressful’’. He said that it was ‘’a good experience to have’’ and that he was ‘’happy to participate in it’’. Justine, 22 years old, enjoyed the photography workshop, to ‘’learn how to use a camera, discover new landscapes, take pictures of the other participants and to build souvenirs’’.

‘Exchanging Dreams’ is a Grundtvig Learner Workshop organised by Everything is Possible and supported by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union and ECORYS UK.
