INTERNET SAFER DAY/The dangers at home

Pubblicato

In the next paragraph I will be interviewing my cousin Giulia asking her a few questions about how she accesses online websites.

 

Me: Hello Giulia, in honour of safer internet day I would like to ask you a few questions about what you think about this topic.

Giulia: Yes, of course, go ahead! 

Me: During Covid-19, since the whole world has been forced to stay at home, do you think more people have gone online over the past few months?

Giulia: Yes, I do think so. Because of the pandemic I’ve been accessing more websites and watching more videos and movies.

Me: Do you know if the way that you access websites to watch movies and videos is safe?

Giulia: Yes, I usually spend lots of time on YouTube or on Netflix, and, from what people say and what I’ve looked up online, they are both very safe websites.

Me: Do you ever use other websites that are known to be unsafe?

Giulia: Sometimes, if I can’t find a movie on Netflix or on Television, I usually stream movies online on pirate websites.

Me: Do you feel safe on these websites?

Giulia: Not really… I hear people often get viruses and/or get contacted by people they don’t know.

Me: Would you ever share personal data on these websites?

Giulia: Netflix has my credit card information, so yes. On YouTube I would never share any of my information in the comments, but on the other hand, I would share my credit card information if I were to sign up to a channel or sign up to the premium version of YouTube. Instead, I would never share any type of information on streaming websites which are illegal and have free access for anyone. The same goes for any type of websites I visit when looking up general information or, as a student, school related questions.

Me: When you access websites daily are you aware of the consequences that could occur?

Giulia: Of course I am. I always make sure I have a VPN or any other type of protection for my personal information.

Me: Thank you so much for participating! Remember to stay safe online!

Time to say goodbye…

On Thursday my day started early in the morning, I went to school with my host brother where I met his classmates and his History teacher.
After that, we met the rest of the group in the school parking lot and we all got on the bus heading to Putna.
During the journey, we listened to music from our home countries and had a lot of fun singing and vibing to songs.
After an hour (that felt like 10 minutes because we were having a lot of fun) we arrived at a pottery factory and saw two men who were creating pots of different shapes and sizes. It was so interesting to see them being so focused on what they were doing: wheel throwing and modeling clay. Just next to it, there was also a lovely shop where we could appreciate the results of their work and eventually buy both traditional and modern-looking pots.
After this brief stop, we got back on the bus and headed to Putna Monastery. When we arrived there, we had been nicely greeted by a monk having a long and magnificent beard; he showed us around the place with great kindness. And thanks to him we appreciated this enchanting place even more. First, we visited the Monastery museum, where we had the opportunity to learn about its history and what happened to it through the centuries, later we visited an Orthodox church (for many of us it was the first time visiting one!).
After the visit, we had lunch in a nearby canteen where the monks served us chorba, sarmale, and parjoale.
After lunch, we got on the bus and went back to Suceava and lots of us took a little “siesta”.
We got back home, rested for a bit, and then we went to the “Continental Hotel” for our farewell night. We were gifted some cute mugs, and we listened to speeches delivered by both teachers and students from all countries. After the ceremony, some parents and teachers left and we started dancing for hours and hours.
Sadly, after all that fun, it was time to say goodbye to each other and that was a very emotional moment. Almost everyone was crying and we were all so sad to leave that fantastic group, made up of students coming from all over Europe who became close friends in just one week.
After saying goodbye, everyone got back home and started packing. We all tried to be happy with what we experienced rather than being sad because it was over. It wasn’t that easy but we are still in touch and the time spent together will never fade away but last forever and ever in our memories!

Wednesday was the fifth of the six days of our Erasmus+ experience in Suceava. We knew the week was nearly over and therefore we lived this day to the fullest.
In the morning, we all got ready in our homes and later we gathered in the main hall of the host school as usual. Once we were all together, they divided us into various groups, depending on what we still had to do: some students had to finish their presentation and remained in their class while others went down to the IT room and carried out the creation of the Ebook on canva.
Once the workshop activities were over, we returned to the main hall where all of us wore a traditional Romanian shirt to celebrate an important Romanian holiday: Martisor (a sort of diminutive for Martie, the Romanian word for March) which is a holiday that symbolizes the arrival of spring.
And what better way to celebrate than dancing? We enjoyed traditional dances and music, both in groups and in pairs, both students and teachers.
In the end, we had some free time but later we all met at the Suceava fortress for a guided tour.  Once there, they explained to us that the fortress had been built to defend and control the city, which was at the time the capital of Moldavia, from Mongol and Ottoman incursions.  We then spent some time inside the citadel, where in addition to observing the displays of medieval armours and weapons, we could not miss a very heated snowball fight.
Later, we decided to spend the rest of the day wandering around the center of Suceava with our Romanian, Polish, Turkish, Spanish, and Greek friends. We knew that we had to live those moments in the best possible way because time flies, but memories last forever!

On Tuesday, we had the great opportunity to attend some English classes and meet other teachers and students (some of them were way younger than us!). They were so curious and had a lot of questions about our country.
After that, we went to the computer room and started creating our ebook.
Later, we had some free time and met other students in the school cafeteria (it is our daily ritual!!). After a few chats, we went to the school gym.

We changed our clothes and were ready for another adventure: “Capoeira classes”. It was funny and the trainer was a famous person in Romania!

Maybe the best part of the day was when we started playing a football tournament between students coming from different countries (it was a sort of European students’ football champions league!).
We can’t wait to have other exciting adventures in the next few days…time flies when you are having fun!
