Preparation of the mobility project
In order to make the cooperation between both organizations effective, guarantee the best
quality project and to satisfy the participant’s expectations and needs, we have designed the
program of the project together. We have exchanged e-mails in order to discuss the aims of the
project, to develop the plan of activities and to clarify any doubts.
Arrival of the participants
The two participants arrived on the 12 th of May at the airport of Catania. The “A Rocca”
organization provided the transfer from the train station of Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto (hosting
town) to their accommodation.
On the same day of their arrival they had an informative welcome meeting, designed to give
the participants useful information they require during their stay in Sicily. Firstly, they had the
introduction to the program in general. The tutor informed the trainees about the organization and
described the work activities, obligations and tasks they will be involved in during the project. Next,
they were provided with the plan of the city and were acquainted with all the hospitalities of
Barcellona P.G. and nearest towns.
The next informative session was dedicated to the cultural aspects of their life in Sicily: the
work style in Italy, rules to follow, behaviour and other cultural information were given to the
participants. The “Help me” card with useful numbers and phrases in Italian as well as a leaflet with
all the useful information they may need (address, rules, tips, etc.) during their stay were
distributed.
