Testimonial from the Facilitators of the Events
People who attended to the event found the small interactive workshop useful and different from other events that they had participated. They were engaged in discussions concerning the utilization of digital tools within the school framework, exploring what is currently lacking or needed. The educators were really interested on how they can enhance not only their own skills but also those of their students.
-Greek Facilitator
We were delighted that the participants took the floor, expressed their thoughts, and learned from a specialist. The fact that it focused on learning and new technologies, a current and relevant issue, was truly appreciated by everyone in attendance.
-Spanish Facilitator
Participants were interested in the use of results with their students in the next semester. Some remarks were shared about the importance of having all materials in Polish so more persons can use them, in this or other Erasmus Plus projects.
–Polish Facilitator
The event was successful, and we realized once again how the topic is interesting and “hot” for teachers and parents, being the digital world continuously changing, they feel the need to be up to date to be able to support their kids. Very deep and participative discussions were opened, with questions and answers, opinions, and feedback from all the presents.
