The end of the year is near - and today we said bye to our group of Cyprot students, who have been here in Torino with us in the last two weeks!

The four cooks, three waitresses, two IT specialists and one civil constructions specialist, accompanyed by two teachers, have worked in businesses around town, practicing their skills, learning new practices, improving their communication skills - and we are very happy to have had a chance to share this experience with these young, bright students, facing challenges together.

We wish them safe travels and wonderful holidays back home with their families - and we hope to see them growing more and more in their own skins!

Last Saturday we had to say bye to our group of Lithuanian students, after they completed their three-week traineeship mobility in Torino, Italy.

The seven mechanics and four florists spent their days in Italy working, learning, adapting, and challenging themselves, and while all of them worked hard, some of them were phenomenal, creating long-lasting relationships and learning new things about themselves and their capabilities!

We hope they will have wonderful holidays, and to meet again to learn more together! 🎉

The mobility of our group of Cypriot students is very well underway, with just a few days left in Torino!

The ten students (4 cooks, 3 waitresses, 1 civil construction technician, and 2 IT specialist), accompanied by two teachers, have been working in four businesses around town starting last Tuesday, and are almost ready to go home to spend the holidays with their families.

Despite the unfamiliar cold temperatures, the students are learning, practicing, and facing new challenges and situations every day; as with any traineeship mobility, there is a lot more to face than just the job itself - and usually that’s the easiest part!

Over the weekend the students had an opportunity to rest, but also enjoy some life in the city - they explored during their free time, and together we visited our beloved Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile. Over the years we have seen it’s an always appreciated experience, and we are happy to share it with our groups!

We are getting ready to say bye, but it’s not over yet - and we will share a few more moments with you!

We are happy to collaborate with Erasmus Torino to offer more than mobilities, and offer opportunities to university students choosing to spend their Erasmus in our beautiful Torino!

Almost two weeks ago now we said bye our fantastic group of Lithuanian teachers - but we wanted to show you a few more moments from our week together!

When the teachers were not busy with the course, we were able to explore - we spent one packed day in Milano, visiting the Duomo and the beautiful city center getting ready for Christmas, but we had a chance to see more of Torino, its streets, the Lavazza Museum and the Cinema Museum! Everyone is home and almost ready for the holidays now, but we know we’re going to see these friendly faces again very soon!

This week we were happy to welcome in Torino another group of students, this time from wonderful Cyprus!

The ten students - 4 cooks, 3 waitresses, 1 civil construction technician, and 2 IT specialist are in Italy for a 10-day traineeship mobility, working in 4 businesses around town, and accompanied by two teachers.

Everyone started working immediately this Tuesday, and the experience seems to be going well so far - as always, a little time to adjust is needed, and with shorter mobilities it can get a little tricky, as there isn’t all that time to begin with! But the students are eager to learn and ready for the challenge - and our goal is always to accompany them and help them have the best experience possible!

Our group of students from Lithuania started their last week of traineeship in Torino!

The seven mechanics and four florists absolutely settled in their Torinese life - going to work everyday, interacting with new people and facing new challenges, and the more adventurous are also exploring quite a bit in their free time!

Over the last two weekends, we had a chance to check in with all of them and accompany them through some of our history, by visiting the Royals Museums and the Automotive Museums - two very different institutions that well represent our nuanced history, and we are happy to have shared them with our students!

The traineeship mobility of our Lithuanian students is halfway!

The seven mechanics and four florists have been working hard at various businesses all over Torino - learning new skills, improving their English, facing new challenges every day, and more! Their hosting managers are also having an opportunity to learn and improve their communication skills - and, of course, we are always happy to be bringing together the people of Europe in their everyday life, and also to foster a greater intercultural understanding!

Stay tuned for more updates on their Torinese lives 🚀

Last Saturday, we had to bid farewell to our group of teachers from Kupiškis, Lithuania, after they completed their one-week mobility in Torino.

It was a fun and enriching time, especially because of the course “AI to Support Teaching” they attended: over the 12-h course, they learned how to interact with AI tools and the various possibilities of implementation in the educational field.
The objectives of the course were:
- to provide educators with a foundational understanding of Artificial Intelligente and its potential in education.
- Explore AI-based tools and applications that can enhance teaching and student engagemente.
- Develop practical skills for integrating AI into lesson planning and assessment.

Thanks to our wonderful instructors Marco and Silvia, the enthusiastic participation of the entire group, the tireless work of translation between English and Lithuanian from participant Loreta, and - can we say it ourselves? - the effort we at Travel Plus put into making this an all-around enjoyable learning and discovering experience, we said bye to this group confident that they will go back home and to their classrooms with new skills and tools, and new fond memories of Torino!

Thank you to every one again - and expect one more post to show a little bit of our cultural offer 🚀

Last Saturday we had the pleasure to welcome another group - a delegation of 11 students and 2 accompanying teachers from Birzai, Lithuania!

The students (7 mechanics and 4 florists) will be in Torino with us for three weeks, working in various businesses around the city. Their first week of work finished today, and we can say it went well!

The students are often on their first work experience, sometimes away from home for the first time, and have to adjust to a different language, a good level of autonomy, and many other cultural and environmental differences, which can make their first week fairly challenging - luckily, their accompanying teachers, Reda and Alvydus, were here with us to help and support them - and us - over these early days.

Tomorrow we will have to bid farewell to the teachers, but we’ll continue to accompany the students in their learning experience and in exploring Torino a little - stay tuned for more updates on their Italian life experience!

On Saturday, we were happy to welcome in Torino a delegation of six teachers from Kupiškio technologijos ir verslo mokykla of Kupiškis, Lithuania, here for one week to attend the course “AI to Support Teaching”.

Some have been in Torino before, and almost everyone we’ve met at some point over the years for mobilities all over Europe. We are happy to see them again and live this next adventure together, learning new tools and perspectives to make the most of this powerful technology!

Over the next few days, we’ll share pictures of our time together and what we are learning on the course - as always, ready to learn and excited to bring the values of United Europe to life!

The tragedy of Valencia is still with us, and we want to help - we are resposting our message from last week to continue to keep it close to our hearts, and we encourage you to donate, to our gofundme or to the plethora of organizations doing their best to help.

Hello! My name is Alessandro Graziano, I am the president of Spunto Sviluppo Sociale and Founder of Travel Plus. In collaboration with Simone Papa, president of Erasmus Torino and GaragErasmus Torino e Piemonte, we are organizations that cooperate and take care of Erasmus and International students in the Piedmont area. At this moment we feel very close to the Spanish people and we want to give our contribution to help them rebuild what the Dana catastrophe has destroyed.
We have decided to raise funds that will be entirely donated to the Spanish Red Cross
We hope that even a small contribution from all of us can help all the people who are currently living a nightmare.
HELP US HELP!

Travel Plus finally debuts on Instagram!

We are a small tour operator based in Torino, Italy, with years of experience in the management of Erasmus + projects and mobilities. 
We love welcoming students, teachers, and all people in our hometown, but also exploring other countries with them - so far, we have brought groups to Spain, Finland, Malta, Cyprus, Lithuania, and more - even South Korea! We have visited schools, colleges and universities, but also businesses, museums, forests, festivals - and we can’t stop wondering where else the future will bring us.

We will regularly post about our current mobilities and projects, we have been posting articles illustrating our past projects on our blog and we’ll post more in the future - and we wish to share our activities and our passion with a larger audience and a new format. We will also tell you more about the people that make Travel Plus a reality - us, the workers, and all of our participants, from which we constantly learn. Stay tuned, and make sure to follow us!
