Evaluation of the Meeting

Click to learn how everything went...

EVALUATION  OF THE MEETING IN MADRID, JANUARY 2016

We can say that the evaluation is positive since all the activities that were programmed, were done and students and teachers took active part in them.
Most of the students enjoyed the meeting and they say that they have learnt how to help the environment. However, some students would have preferred to have more activities in the afternoon, since they consider they have spent too much time with their host families.
