The project was based on understanding our culture and needs of ourregion

Understanding yourpartner's cultures

3

Unfortunately there was not much time for learning about our partner´sculture

3

We discussed some serious issues, but did not have time to deepen
the knowledge and skills

2

We did not communicate sufficiently because of time difference
and lack of time generally

3

The students are conscious of their role in achieving the goals, theyknow they must take actions not only criticize.

4

Had known it before we would have included more subjects into theproject to make the process of learning more effective

4

The students started to collaborate more as a group, it was not that
effective with partners.

4

Our students learned how to reduce the thought to be able to express itin pictures

Information literacy(research, share)

Communication ability(interactive exchange)

Critical thinking(objective, logical views)

Active learningand action
Collaboration(in the class, with partners)

Expression ability(in words, in pictures)

Appreciation ability(the mural, the wholecollaborative learning)

The whole idea is very challenging
