Teachers at a school shared the positive impacts of a project involving meetings and experience sharing with Belgian colleagues. Some impacts included implementing outdoor activities and free learning explored in other schools. The project helped complete inadequacies in teaching areas and provided new ideas that could be adapted to their reality. Students who participated learned about life and school in other European countries and some teachers tried techniques like free learning in their own lessons.

2. A selection of teachers’ answers to
the question:
Which are the most positive
impacts of the project for your
school?

3. ”All the meetings have had an impact on our
school life as we shared our experience with our
Belgian colleagues. We implemented some
aspects of the topics we've experienced in other
schools (such as the outdoor activities - free
learning..) Even describing, defining and sharing
our own molehill (languages) was an added value
for our own school! .”
”Interdisciplinary and intercultural learning.”

4. “New ideas that can be used after some
adaptation to our own reality.”
“The project helped to complete some
inadequate parts in teaching - learning areas of
our school. We also helped the partners to
overcome their Everests. We started to apply
the techniques we learned in our school.”

5. “A variety of good practices which can be used
during lessons.”
“Students who took part of the project are really
pleased that they met other students in Europe
and that they learned how they live, what school
life is like in other countries,... Some teachers try
different things in their lessons like free-
learning... More and more teachers at our school
become more 'open-minded' to other European
schools!”

6. “New ICT technologies have been spread, our
foreign language skills have been improved,
our international links have been
strengthened..”
“Pupils become aware that they are European
citizens. Teachers become more open-minded.
Working in international networks is a good
advertisement for the school..”

7. “The project developed the communication
skills, better ICT-skills, it empowered pupils to
take more responsibility for their learning and
the learning of others. The students developed
their roles as ambassadors for their schools
and countries and created strong links for the
future. The project provided professional
development opportunities for teachers..”
