The document provides an evaluation of an Open-gate kick-off meeting program held in Legnica, Poland. It summarizes the following: 1) The meeting included workshops in dance and theater, visits to local museums and exhibitions, and presentations on the history of the region. 2) Ioana evaluated the dance workshop positively for its interactivity and opportunity for the group to get to know each other through participation. 3) The drama workshop was also viewed positively for its interactive and non-verbal nature, though some felt it lacked time for deeper engagement with theater techniques.

5. Evaluation of workshops by Ioana
Dance workshop
• The dance workshop was interactive and
gave the opportunity for the group to
• participate (almost in its entirety) and the
various partners to get to know, have fun.
This
• workshop was a "good introduction" to
the next stage of the program; meeting
with the
• association “Our Krotoszyce" and
preceded the evening happily dancing
around the
• traditional meal and then held up by the
very active members of this organization

6. Drama workshop
• Regarding the proposal to an evaluation by the theatrical method,
we appreciated the interactive side while lamenting the lack of time
for a real entry "in the field" of theater.
• This "non-verbal" method has been a fun, well suited to collect
impressions of each other through images and interpretations assets.
• We found it a sensible way, since a large part of the group could not
speak English.
Another mode of assessment would necessarily have involved
translations (too long) and contrarily to the chosen method, would
have been less direct or spontaneous.
• The method has proved effective, first by the success obtained by
the short representation (active participation of the whole group). It
has been also a good way to close the program.

7. EVALUATION par KANEL
" J'ai été particulièrement touchée par l'histoire de ce pays : Quel sens patriotique ! Cela m'a beaucoup
touchée puisqu'en France cette notion se perd et ne se revendique plus. J'ai été aussi impressionnée
par la force, l'énergie et la présence des femmes polonaises. J'ai trouvé que le programme était bien
ficelé, bien construit mais il est vrai que je regrette un peu la manque de training le matin (afin de
pouvoir créer une réelle osmose du groupe). De plus, je regrette aussi de ne pas avoir pu visiter
Wroclaw la journée. Enfin, j'ai passé d'excellents moments à Legnica, dans ce projet très bien encadré
par des personnes très accueillantes. Merci «
EVALUATION by YING YAN
The Association for Cultural and Artistic Events of Legnica - Creative Factory is a very energetic and
friendly group. The Open-gate meeting program was well organized. I was glad to learn some Polish
traditional music and dance. Hopefully the coming program won't be as tight as this one. More options
for partners are welcomed.
