After the four weeks of mobility, we organize the interview with the Slovenian students who did a hairdressing internship in the Lorient area. For the four students, it was a first in France, and they were already benefiting from practical experience in hairdressing! Thanks to the salons that accepted to take part in the experience: the four are delighted! Thanks to ERASMUS and the European Union who offers us their wonderful experiences; find here the testimonies of the Slovenians in Lorient through 5 questions!
Nezka – 17 years old – Laurent Coiffure, Riantec
1/ What did you learn during your internship?
On a technical level, there is not that much difference between France and Slovenia. So, I didn’t learn a lot of new things; it was mostly an opportunity to improve my technique! Something that surprised me was the breaks, especially for eating. In Slovenia, you manage if you have time, there are no breaks to take the time to do it.
2/ What do you remember from your experience in Lorient?
That there are a lot of bars, bakeries … ! And people are well dressed !
3/ What did you particularly like?
I would especially remember my tutor: he’s really nice! He was very welcoming and he took good care of us, it was great, I’m delighted.
4/ How do you find the organization?
It was more than perfect: everything was ready for us, it was good!
5/ Anything to improve?
Having more free time to discover the city: like working one day less, or adding a week just to be able to visit!
