They think that their hotel was suitable for them and they liked educational trips best.
5 partner schools’ teachers liked all the activities organized by Polish teachers.
5 liked workshops, additional lessons best, 7 beneficiaries liked cooking lessons and integration meeting best.
They developed their knowledge of the healthy lifestyle and environmental issues mainly  during workshops and educational trips.
Most of them are going to share their  experiences gained in Poland and use the received materials and most of them will recommend this kind of project to other schools and teachers.
