What is your mobility experience?

We are looking for original and creative videos that show mobility experiences!
Would you like to become a director of your own movie?
Have you found yourself in any difficult situation while being abroad?
What was the biggest challenge you had to deal with?
What have you learnt about yourself and the others while getting to know new people and new cultures in a foreign country?
Is there any funny story, which took place abroad you want to share?
If your answers are positive, that means you are the right person in the right place.

You can use humour, music, animations and any other media source. Just be creative!
