Hilary had found out about Erasmus from her International Office and decided to take part in the programme in order to facilitate overseas colleagues in communication and cultural diversity.
Through teaching and engaging with students and staff in Norway she would be able to offer them a different perspective. Hilary visited Norway twice, for a week on both occasions, teaching, attending meetings, visiting hospitals and patients as well as meeting the local students. She found the attitude towards life as well as the quality of life were very interesting and that the people she met had little experience of a diverse culture. Hilary felt it helped her both personally and professionally, helping to increase her confidence and giving her a great sense of fulfilment, something she could take home and share with her students. When asked if others should take part, Hilary states, “Absolutely, it’s potentially a life changing experience and can really put things in perspective.”
