Hello, I'm Ahmet Süha ALTAŞ. I'm a third-year student at İnönü University Faculty of Medicine. I participated in the Erasmus Youth Exchange program through the Innovative Sustainable Development Association. I had an unforgettable week-long experience in Targu-Jiu, Romania, in July 2024, with a project called Eco Pulse.

Targu-Jiu is a quiet city in Romania, located approximately 300 km from Bucharest. We arrived by car from Bucharest. At first, I thought the city was small and ordinary, but as I explored, I was captivated by the warmth of the people and the beauty of the city. The Romanians were incredibly hospitable, especially regarding our accommodations and the food. Meeting such friendly and talkative people who were open to communication made the experience even more enjoyable.

This project was an unforgettable experience for me. I realized how valuable it is to communicate and spend time with people from different cultures. I also realized how effective such an event can be for improving my English language skills. My advice to everyone is to not hesitate to participate in such events. These types of projects truly offer a wonderful opportunity to experience new places, experience different cultures, and contribute to personal growth.

I sincerely thank the Innovative Sustainable Development Association (YESKAD) for providing me with this valuable opportunity. Being involved in such a project has been a great achievement for me, both academically and personally.
