The aim of our mobility was mainly to improve our communication skills in English, also to get to know a new language, history, culture and cuisine. We also wanted to make international friends and get to know the life and interests of peers coming from another country, broaden our horizons and potential future perspectives. We also wanted to share our cultural heritage, work on our personal development and improve our key competences, both soft and hard. France was a hitherto undiscovered place for us. In addition, the topic of France came up after the opening of a petanque court on the premises of the IYMC, a French game of 'marbles', and the formation of an informal group to promote this game, which is becoming increasingly popular in our country. In summary, the objectives were: intercultural exchange - to improve the understanding of the cultural diversity of the European population - to improve communication in a foreign language - to develop the key competences of the participants in a process of conscious personal development by means of non-formal education methods.
