# Effects and the Problems
Effects your students have gained
The students have gained more knowledge about theJapanese culture. They know more about the people,
the tradition and the deep meaning of this project. We
had a great experience and also it’s interesting.

Points for further improvement
It was our first time to join this international projectand it was also the students first time to work withfriends abroad. For us, everything is new andunknown. Besides that we don’t access to videoconferences. But reading through instructions andemails makes the work easier. Thanks to our partnerschool.
