EVALUATION OF THE WEEK

The Lithuanian School:
The week was very important for us because now the goals of our project are clearer.
The Slovak School: We could compare our lessons to the lessons given in Zlin,
We saw an interesting lesson with the use of the Interactive Board.
We got more information about the project.
The atmosphere of the meeting was friendly and creative,
Motivating us to make better our work.

The Italian school : I really appreciated the organization and the welcoming of the Czech School. All the Czech teachers were very kind and friendly. This gave us the possibility of being relaxed and produced more. Very interesting is the interactive board use. All the partners seemed to be more interested and involved on the project.
Getting in touch with other realities let us grow and think about our capabilities and incapability .

The Czech School: It was a great experience for our teachers and pupils to use English in a real situation and practise their knowledge.
We were very glad to meet all our partners in our school to compare our conditions and ways of teaching English language.
