My name is Josh, I’m 18 and I’m a second-year student at Kirklees College.
During the project, I coached kids in sports such as gymnastics, basketball, athletics and football they seemed to have fun. I enjoyed the challenge of communicating in a different language as the kids were helpful and assisted me on the words that I struggled with.
Thanks to Erasmus+, professionally I learned how much of a factor the language barrier is when running sessions and this taught me that the skill of demonstration is highly required when the kids are struggling to understand what you are trying to say to them.
Personally, I learnt that everyone in Martinique is very generous and joyful as well as being very relaxed especially when trying to communicate with them.
