1) The course is clearly and logically organized. Theoretical material is alternated with practical tasks. All topics of the course correspond to the content. The course content exceeded all expectations, it was very interesting and useful. I got new ideas that can be applied in my school. Thank you! 

2) Strengths of the course: the joy of international communication, development of language competence, discussion of common tasks, sense of involvement in global issues. And also the feeling of being a citizen of the world.

3) The course is perfect. The course leader smiled often, was attentive to all participants. The presentation of the material is very clear and easy.

4) All the ideas that emerged need to be implemented in my school. So that our eyes continue to burn even when we get home. We should start with a plan of strategy for the international development of the school.

In my reflections on the content - cultural learning, competence development, and teaching content - I see a strong connection to our school's profile, which is based on PBL, project-based learning. We can unfold our strategy for the school as a whole by incorporating the international element through PBL projects and collaborating with European schools on exchanges and job shadowing.

Overall, I have become competent in envisioning our future as an international school and have acquired knowledge and a level of competence that can be translated into practice at the school. This greatly strengthens our process when we return to our practical and everyday tasks.

A final commendation goes to Rita, who, as an individual, manages the course with great expertise, vast experience, and a professionalism that is evident in all elements of the course. Rita's teaching is characterized by sharing experiences and, at the same time, a desire to learn and engage in debates, resulting in high motivation. Thank you, Rita.

I became aware of the importance of how you identify culture and talk about it. You need to consider both similarities and differences and you always have to try to understand the reasons why people act as they do and not to judge from your own perspective. You also need to identify your own culture when you would like to get to know other cultures. It is very important for this course that it is located in a different culture from your own. Then you experience and feel the theory and practice that you are discussing in the sessions. That has a great value.

When you are working with internationalisationing your schools curriculum it is very important to consider both the local and the global view.

What you learn and experience when being “on location” in the different topics are valuable and important and we need to have that in mind when teaching.

We have been discussing theory and didactic in relation to guide our student to being global citizens and I can use it directly in my practice at my school.

I consider it a great value that we were participants from different European countries and we have already made contacts to visit and to do exchange.

I’ve learned that when you practice project based learning you always need to have a personal interest in the topic and the theme and you need to dare to invite your students into the planning - also when it is about being global citizens. You have to work with key competences.

The surroundings in Rita’s classroom has been outstanding and beautiful and been leading to many relevant discussions and reflections to our school practice and strategies.

I have learned a lot about how Erasmus+ function and the experiences of the other participants gave me an insight in does and dont’s.

Thank you Rita for being a very trustful course leader with a lot of relevant experience!
