BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Hello 🌼 ABOUT MYSELF: I'm Valeria Bianchi, I'm 17 and I'm Italian, from Genoa. I've got two little sisters, Alice and Giulia, and even if we're very different, but we still get on quite well. Last year I attended the 3rd year at a languages school, in Genoa, where I studied Chinese, Spanish and English. I love reading books, hanging out with my family and friends, listening to music, running, eating Italian and Chinese food but most of all I do love studying languages and traveling.That's the reason why I chose to study abroad in England for a year. ABOUT MY YEAR ABROAD : In two days I'm going to leave for my year abroad, and I'm incredibly excited about it ! After the "Welcome Days" , where I'll get the opportunity to meet other exchange students from all over the world, I'll go to Washington, near New Castel, where I'm going to spend my year abroad. There I'll attend a Catholic school where I'll study Politics, Spanish and English Literature. ABOUT THIS WEBSITE: I'm going to post something about my year abroad every week.☺ Feel free to contact me and to follow me on instagram: _valeriabianchi_

Welcome to Miami! AshokaU Changemaker Exchange 2017! Day One!

Today was the first day of the AshokaU 2017 Exchange. A collaboration of Faculty staff, Administration staff and Students from Changemaker Universities across the world! 750 of them to be exact. It's pretty incredible. It's my first time at the Exchange. I'm a newbie! But I feel welcome and at home here. I'm amongst colleagues that share the same values in fostering learning environments that educate, but also enable students to build skills that they can take back to their families, communities, future employers; but most importantly, themselves. Positive, socially innovative mindsets; a deeper understanding of themselves, through reflective practice; a better understanding of problems, with the focus being on solutions; confidence. Changemakers! My most inspiring moment of the day was a session called - My Story. Two students from the University of San Diego, and part of the University Changemaker Hub have collaborated and developed a platform and safe space for story telling. 'My Story' aims to build community and practice empathy through the necessary art of story telling. We heard from three story tellers, each having something very different to share. Each very honest, deeply moving and brave. I felt a huge amount of respect for them. This is empathy in action, facilitated by two passionate and driven young women wanting to make a difference on their campus and within their student community. They have created a community of people willing to share and willing to listen. I think the one thing I would take away from today was quoted by Lauren, one of the student founders: 'If a story resonates with you, changes you, makes you think? If you are moved, changed even; then you are the one that will make change. When you are comfortable with your identity, you will contribute'. What a great first day. My head is buzzing. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Lots of love from Miami! Abi

"Andare in giro per calli e campi, senza un itinerario prestabilito, è forse il più bel piacere che a Venezia uno possa prendersi. Beati i poveri di topografia, beati quelli che non sanno quel che si fanno, ossia dove vanno, perché a loro è serbato il regno di tutte le sorprese, di tutte le scoperte straordinarie." #day97 #venice #inlove #bestcityintheworld #mypicture #venezia #serenissima #exchange2017 (presso Venezia, Italia)
