Moving to a completely new place without knowing the language or anyone can be overwhelming. Arriving at a foreign university with no connections is both exciting and intimidating.
In this documentary, the international students Josy and Cecilia from Milan, Italy, take us on their journey as they settle into their life in Schwäbisch Gmünd. From navigating through an unfamiliar environment and making new friends to embracing the opportunities of their semester abroad, they share their personal experiences of finding a sense of belonging.
Meanwhile, Mark, who works at the International Office, offers a different perspective by supporting international students as they begin their journey. Together, their stories provide an authentic insight into what it means to build connections and create a home away from home.
