IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Erasmus Plus projects are great opportunities to travel, discover new cultures and countries, meet different people and create international relationships without spending a lot of money. This specific program includes personal development processes and approaches that make it intense in terms of mental and physical energy required. It's also intense for the sharing and reflection moments and for the daily amount of working hours (12-13 per day).
In order to support the learning process of the participants drinking alcohol is not allowed during the whole duration of the experience in Bergolo. If you cannot stay without drinking for 10 days this project is not for you. Also, the use of any kind of drug or substance that has a psychoactive effect on the brain is not allowed. In case you are taking prescribed medications that affect the functioning of your brain let us know in the application form.
From another side, for many people who experienced the the Basic Synergy methodology, it has been an illuminating and liberating experience which brought immense joy, fulfilment and created authentic and deep relationships as you can read in the testimonials.
In case you are interested in travel, discover new places, meet different people and create international relationships in a cheap way but not in the topics of the training, you can not actively participate in all the phases of the project or you are not willing to go through self-reflection activities doesn't matter, it's perfectly fine and we don't get offended. We ask you then not to apply for this program - it may become a not pleasant experience for you - but go for what you really want and make it awesome!
In that case, you may find useful tools like Couchsurfing, Blablacar, traditional hitch-hiking, to get inspiration from other travellers through blogs or groups like this one or this one.
