Evaluation of cooperation and communication amongst partners - Did all the partners work for one goal? 4 answers for YES/ 2 answers NOT ALL Comments 1. Its important to respect the rhythms of the hosting country and the rules of connecting cultures and to take the social time outside the group - How did the communication amongst partners - before the workshop and during the meeting work? ALL Partners positive answer Positive: 1. With the development of the project the communication became better and more intense Suggestions: 1. We need more discipline with answering the mails and respecting the deadlines 2. Because of the language difficulties maybe we sometimes need confirmation of what we understood - What can we learn from this workshop experiences in terms of team working? 1. We should help the host in organisation when we see that we can be useful for some reason 2 .If the team working is well done before every meeting, the quality of the workshop becomes better 3. We need to read and listen to instructions carefully. 4. We should stick to deadlines. 5. Even though the language can be a barrier, we should ask as many times as possible until everything is clear. 6. We should try and be more flexible and understanding: not everything can be done the same way everywhere. 7. Every partner should do their part of the documents 8. If there is a problem, we should discuss it together - in the partnership - and not individually. 9. It seems to me that the team has been working towards the same goal. Comments and suggestions 1. To foresee the distances - the last days dinner was too far away 2. All partners should send the homework and respect the deadlines when they dont do it - it is not good for the others 3. We needed a little more of a technical explanation at the factory 4. Having homemade food is the best experience and we should do this in all visits if possible. 5. We should leave the socialising more to the evenings and try to attend all gatherings 6. The partnership is going in a good direction, the ambiance is friendly and creative. 7. Mistakes are good to teach us that we are a team and should solve things together as we doing. 8. Congratulate the organisation's efforts to welcome us

Organisation and logistics (Only for the partner hosting the workshop.) - What did go wrong in the logistics and the organisation? There were some problems with the internet connection during the workshops on Saturday, 6th April (there were some interruptions because of the coverage) but the programme was not prevented from being followed as scheduled. As a whole I think the organisation went well with the exception of the misunderstanding about the expenses agreed by the participants at the kick-off meeting in Belgium which was solved by all partners through mutual understanding. -What suggestion could you give to the other partners for the next workshops? 1. Our suggestions are closely related to our conclusions and to what we would do next time: 1) We would prepare more thoroughly what responsibilities has got each member of organizational team and trying to get firm engagements from restaurants or hotel and also from the local guests about their participation in the activities. 2) We would send more details about the options the guests have for meals or accommodations at least 3 weeks before the meeting. 3) We would try to get someone in charge with responding to the individual needs of each guest.
