The objective of the activity was to bring participants together to enjoy the beauty of the city, promoting cultural exchange and friendship among its members. The meeting aimed to foster the sharing of experiences and bonding, stimulating an environment of mutual cultural and social enrichment, thus contributing to the growth of a more united community open to intercultural exchange.
Matera is a fascinating city, famous for its unique architecture and historical value, particularly the Sassi di Matera, ancient dwellings carved into the rock. To explore the city and discover its wonders, ESN organizes a guided tour and trekking among the surrounding hills, offering international students from Southern Italy a fantastic opportunity to meet and exchange culture.
Matera's picturesque streets, rocky architecture and rich history create the perfect environment to foster friendships among participants. Walking through narrow alleys and visiting historic sites, participants have the opportunity to immerse themselves in local culture and traditions.
Trekking among the hills surrounding the city provides spectacular views, offering participants a unique, physically challenging yet extremely rewarding experience. This hike allows participants to appreciate the natural beauty of the region in an enriching way.
Events such as this not only foster the spirit of collaboration between ESN members and Erasmus students, but also promote the integration of international students with local history and culture, creating moments of sharing that go beyond just meeting.
In short, this event represents a tradition that combines adventure, culture and bond-making, making Matera even more special as a meeting point for people from all over the world.
