The biggest opportunity of my life was to join AEC Project. The day I got to know that I was on board to this project, I was on the ninth cloud. I felt really happy as well as proud. I had always wanted to join this and my joy knew no limits when I was in. I like interacting with people and AEC has given me a chance to do so. This is the best way to know the cultures, religions and views of different people from all over Asia and Europe.
I didn't know many festivals were celebrated in Europe, but after interacting with the students and the teachers, I got to know about Easter, Halloween, and even Thanksgiving.
I didn't know that cartoons were called "Anime" in the Philippines, but I got to know about it through this project.
Through this project, I got to know the new and totally different ways of saving water at home.
This has given me the information of many important matters from around the world.
I got to know that most schools in Europe don't allow mobiles in the classes.
I made many friends here, which would never have been possible through any other website, be it facebook, orkut or any other networking websites. I hope none of the given will give anyone more knowledge than AEC can give a student or a teacher.
I would have never in my whole life been able to understand Italian language, but the AEC gave me the chance to learn the same through a friend of mine in Italy.
The beaches of India and that of the Philippines are somehow the same. I would have never got to know this if I were not in this project.
I believe that this is the first networking project which allows the meeting of knowledge with fun. There is fun, there is information, there is interaction and above all there is the combination, the union, the collaboration and the blending of the colors of the different cultures together. |
