Anastasiia Perun, Ukraine (Intake 2016-2018)

Mon premier souvenir du master CLE est très bien gravé dans ma mémoire, j’étais à Bucarest pour un stage à l’époque. C’est le dernier jour pour déposer la candidature, j’ai pas dormi toute la nuit pour préparer le dossier. Il y a une pluie torrentielle, je traverse toute la ville pour envoyer mon dossier CLE dans le seul bureau de poste qui est ouvert dimanche. Je reviens chez moi, j’ouvre Google Maps et je me lance dans une longue contemplation des endroits auxquels je vais peut-être consacrer deux ans de ma vie. J’imagine les chants du coeur dans la cathédrale de Strasbourg, j’essaie de prononcer les noms presque mythiques de villes au Sénégal - M-bour, Zi-guin-chor, Langue-de-Bar-ba-rie, île Go-rée, Yoff, j’imagine le syndrome de Stendhal qui je vais vivre à Bologne… Tout cela me paraît presque irréel et j’ai un peu peur de me lancer trop dans ces rêves de l’ailleurs.
Presque 4 ans se sont écoulés, j’ai été séléctionné pour le programme et j'ai vécu et fait mes études à Strasbourg, Dakar et Bologne dans le cadre du master CLE. Cette expérience paraît toujours irréelle, tellement ces deux ans étaient intenses, excitants et pleins de défis. Ce parcours m’a permis d’apprendre tant de leçons professionnelles et personnelles précieuses, vivre des rencontres incroyables, nouer des amitiés fortes et comprendre ce que je veux vraiment faire de ma vie, au moins dans l'avenir proche. J’ai appris à aller beaucoup plus profondément dans mes analyses, à mettre en avant mes points forts, à m’ouvrir vers l’Autre. Grâce aux échanges avec des professeurs passionnés par leur métier et avec des étudiants des quatre coins du monde, j’ai découvert toute une panoplie de nouveau noms et phénomènes fascinants dans l’histoire de l’art. Finalement, les moments difficiles m’ont permis de découvrir mes forces intérieures que je ne soupçonnais jamais de posséder.
Après la fin des études, j’ai effectué un stage à Bruxelles dans le domaine de la médiation culturelle et je me suis facilement intégrée dans le monde de travail ensuite. Je suis actuellement chargée de projets culturels à l’Institut français d’Ukraine et j’utilise les compétences acquises presque chaque jour. Bref, je suis persuadée que pour ceux qui savent en profiter, ce master peut devenir une source inépuisable de possibilités d’épanouissement personnel et professionnel.

Federica Ambroso, Italy (Intake 2015-2017)

Hello everyone, my name is Federica Ambroso. After graduating in Modern Literature at the University of Bologna and having had two wonderful Erasmus experiences in Greece (study and internship in a publishing house), I decided to apply for the master CLE. Thanks to the CLE I had the opportunity to study in two beautiful towns, Bologna and Thessaloniki, to perfect my knowledge of modern Greek and to broad my horizons, through lectures, conferences, guided tours, but above all through the daily and very stimulating experience of a multicultural environment. To share projects and experiences with people from all over the world, to travel, to develop listening and adaptation skills, to get constantly involved ... This and much more is the master CLE!

Elisabet Carbó, Spain (Intake 2014 -2016)

Hello everyone, my name is Elisabet Carbó. I come from Barcelona, where I obtained a double degree in Translation and Interpretation and French Philology. After a master's degree in language didactics in Barcelona, I wanted to resume literary studies and that's where the CLE adventure began. First in Strasbourg, then in Bologna, these two years were full of beautiful discoveries, both from an intellectual and a personal perspective. Thanks to this program I was able to perfect my language skills, to reflect deeply on the interaction between cultures and to develop my skills on translation and literary analysis, surrounded by people who have turned this experience into something unforgettable. Not only did the Master CLE allow me to broaden my horizons, but it also opened the doors of the next stage of my career: at the end of this course I was hired by the University of Bologna as a teacher of Catalan language and literature, job that I am currently holding down and that allows me to collaborate with the CLE family. Welcome and good luck!

Maria Shakhray, Russia (Intake 2012-2014)

Hello to all future CLE students and welcome to the CLE world!
My name is Maria Shakhray and I come from Russia. After graduating from Moscow State University I won a scholarship to study at Erasmus Mundus CLE program – and this is how the great adventure began.
During the two years of my Master, I met friends coming from China, Greece, Macedonia, Georgia, Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, Albania, Iran, France, Argentina… indeed from all over the world! Four years after, I can still remember every detail of our fantastic experience: our conversations and musical evenings, our wonderful trips and guided tours, all the seminars, conferences, films and books we enjoyed together. We indeed shared every new experience, including even national holidays: it was during my two CLE-years that I learnt to celebrate both Catholic and Orthodox Easter and Christmas!
So, you see, CLE is definitely more than a study program: it creates great friendship, as well as opens your mind to a number of totally new ideas, dreams and projects, a great part of which you start realizing already during the two Master years, while studying, travelling and discovering world.
Good luck and welcome everybody willing to become part of our CLE international community! See you in Bologna!

Walter Alberisio, Switzerland (Intake 2012-2014)

My name is Walter Alberisio. After I graduated in French and Philosophy at the University of Lausanne, I began to work in a school of the same city. I’ve found quickly Switzerland boring and I missed so much the literature’s world and my student life.
As I’m definitely in love with Italy (I already made an Erasmus in Venice during my Bachelor), I tried to enter the Master CLE. I chose the Universities of Bologna and Strasbourg in order to come back in Italy and to discover the french academic world during the second year.
I had a wonderful experience in two European student cities with colleagues coming from all over the world. My linguistic competences have upgraded really fast, I discovered so much different cultures and I have now friends on four of the five continents.
