I knew I was coming to an amazing place but did not know I was going to meet amazing people as well.

From day one at our first classroom on the beach where we had an international lunch, the foods and drinks from our country we all got on really well which made this experience all the more enjoyable.

Having 5 different countries represented gave another dimension to a multi perspective view on our discussions, views and ideas.

Everyday we went to a different location on the island,  each one beautiful, from the organic gardens, the beaches to the waterfalls. Each place took my breath away, I was loving being in these stunning place to study and then soon realised there was an underlying reason for Rita choosing these places, not just because they are beautiful, there was always a link to that days learning which embedded the learning more. ( Tell me and I forget. show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.

With her calm organised approach Rita made the course enjoyable, giving us an insight into Guadeloupean life, history and culture leading to meaningful multi perspective discussions which made you reflect and evaluate what you do.

I also admire my fellow colleagues as the course was in english and they had to interpret and process the material.

Michel was always helpful and entertaining often testing and correcting our spoken French as well as an excellent barbecue chef. Between him and Rita they gave us an enriching experience. The group from Germany, Poland, Greece, Lithuania and U.K. all bonded really well which made this experience all the more enjoyable... global colleges now global friends and school connections.

The course made me reflect on our school and all international work we do and I am extremely proud. I already do a lot of work linked with the U.N Global goals and now I have lots of new ideas to take back.

Thank you Rita you are an inspiration and thank you beautiful people of Guadeloupe who welcomed us with open arms into their amazing cultural land.

A total of 10 sessions on internationalization and multiculturalism have been held in one of the most beautiful regions of France. Based on the fact that Guadeloupe is one of the most ethnically diverse cultures, the training took place here. Intense moments to get to know this diverse culture have been made tangible through the content of the program. Whether it is to learn about the way of life of the Caribbean on the medium of music or in the museum to understand the history of the slave trade and to learn something about the plant and animal life of Guadeloupe, all these are the peculiarities of everyday life of the Caribbean "Way of Life".

Organization
Starting from the pre-registration to the sending of the program, the participant communication and preparation for the advanced training, all information was timely dispatched, so that a first orientation was given.
This good organization was also respected during the training. All appointments or visits took place, nothing has failed, so that the program sent in advance could be held congruent. The program was also discussed twice during the training period. Ambiguities and questions could be discussed here.

A Classroom with a Door to the World is a great course that every teacher should attend. It has given me a better understanding of internationalism and what it means to be a global citizen. During the course I had an opportunity to learn about the history and culture of Guadeloupe and understand how a multicultural society can exist in peace. We had contact with local people and had a chance to get to know the country better. The reflections I was required to do every day allowed me to understand how important it is to internationalize the school curriculum in order to help my students become global citizens. It also let me analyse the purpose of each point of the programme and appreciate the course even more. I highly recommend this course to all teachers that would like to broaden their knowledge on multiculturalism and international projects such as eTwinning and Erasmus+.

The course 'A Classroom with a Door to the World' has been outstanding! The teaching, outdoor classrooms, learning experiences, setting and cultural experiences have been unique and unforgettable! As I look back on the course, I realise the progress that I have made with my understanding of internationalisation of the curriculum, national identity and the importance of helping children to become global citizens that 'know, care and act'. The course has inspired me and given me the knowledge and understanding to take action at school.

Guadeloupe has been a stunning place to attend a course! The outdoor classrooms have been in beautiful settings. The cultural experiences have allowed us to find out more about this wonderful country and I have enjoyed the opportunity to learn french. The course has been organised exceptionally well. The teaching and resources have been so thorough and detailed.

The course has provided lots of special memories, laughs, wonderful experiences and new learning.

Thank you Rita Stoskiene for this incredible course!

Evaluation final report

This is the best course I have ever been on. It was very well structured and the outdoor classes were just amazing. The island of Guadeloupe was the perfect place to have this course. Exotic beaches, tropical rainforest, friendly people, sun, sea, sand and last but not least a really multicultural environment..
I highly recommend it to any teacher who wants to have  the most life changing as well as teaching changing experience.
Teaching will never be the same after this course.
Thank you Rita Stoskiene for giving us the chance.

Final report: Feedback / Evaluation

After almost two weeks in Guadeloupe it is difficult to look back as the end of the course comes quickly. I expected some nice and warm days on a tropical island and I hoped to have an idea of the lifestyle on this caribbean island.

Actually all my expectations are topped and I make a lot of great and unique experiences thanks to Rita and all the people we met during our activities. To talk to the local people like Marie-Laure, George, Willian and the teachers and pupil in school gave me the possibility to learn about their culture and their way of life with is much more combined to the nature than ours in Europe. There was always a warm and friendly atmosphere in our group. It is a joy to learn from the other participants  and to change thoughts.

The most amazing fact is the excellent choice of the classrooms offering the opportunities to visit Guadeloupe to see a lot of great places (beaches, rain forest, Kreole gardens, school, mangroves). With the self study and the theory work to the international curriculum we learned a lot and in the same moment we visited a lot of cultural places.

Thank you for the exceptional organisation to Rita and Michel. I really appreciate the course and I am sure coming back again.
