Did we find any difficulty or problem in the preparation
or during the workshop and visits?

ALL ANSWERS = NO PROBLEM




How was your organisation prepared?

Good and active preparation to meeting of all partners:

As always, we had met before and had planned what we were going to do.
We do every reservation during the time, give the participants detailed
program and information about the project.
Normally, we made pre work for the fair.
We had a meeting before travelling to Portugal and Galicia and shared
duties about our participation in the workshops. Also we had checked that
our contribution concerning songs, recipes, stories had been sent.
Our organization succeeded to do 'homework' before the meeting, we
presented the materials (4th part: song, recipe, story, proverb and
multilingual dictionary). We also presented our activity regarding the
project in our community.

Comments:
New partners and new friends... and many lovely memories
One of the best project our organization ever took part in. A team with so
many different countries, people, topics, opinion worked and
communicated in a friendly and efficient way. All partners did they best to
organize the transnational meeting, each meeting was interesting, from
each we could take new inspiration, new knowledge, new experience. With
a good plan, a precisely described responsibilities and task of each partner -
we could come to good results, even better then planed in the applications.
The project was for us a good lesson on European unity though European
diversity.
Nice experiences of other European cultures, new friendships, a n
understanding that our old continent has an big variety of cultural
achievement connected with food.
Great learning experiences and memories and above all wonderful friends
in eight countries from Europe!

Organisation and logistics

(the partner hosting the workshop)

What did go wrong in the logistics and the organisation?

From our point of view nothing except for the problem
with the internet connection at the Galician hotel.
A little bit of confusing because of rain in last evening in Portugal,
but good company made the evening perfect.

What suggestion could you give to the other partners
for the next workshops?
This was the last workshop, but we would like to tell others
that our methods were very successful.
This was the last, but we all did very well.
Be cool.

The general assessment from
and of the learning partnership

Many different experiences, knowledge about traditions and food of
different countries and many new friends.

Through this project I learned a lot of things about foods, cultures,
ecological agriculture and different cooking methods, biological methods
of production, energy saving, food preservation, wise and healthy food
shopping and eating and the value of rural life and traditions. So it was
very important experiment for me. Thank you to everyone who was part
of this project.

In a way, Europe is a monoculture region and our history and habits are
reflecting from the past. But still the people are very much the same. They
care about each others.

I took a lot of things.
The general assessment from
and of the learning partnership

First of all, I improved my English. It was a good way to practice the
Shakespeare's language. In other hand, I learnt a lot about renewables
energies, organic products.... great experiences, the contact and the
insight to other European cultures, to meet interesting peoples, to
improve my English.

Many new contacts and even some new friends.

I take many experiences and European friends.

I take the feeling of deepening of my understanding of our multiform but
still united European civilization.

Many friends, good experiences and new ideas.

Life experience.
The general assessment from
and of the learning partnership
It was an incredible experience! I learned so many things in workshops and
mobilitys about us and about the other partners. Interpersonal and
intercultural dialogue has been tremendous. It would not have had the same
impact, no other form of collaboration. I learned that people from anywhere,
regardless of culture and civilization are united by the little things such food,
the pleasures of eating together and so taste traditional dishes offered by
each partner.

What I take from this project ? I do not know exactly because there are too
many and every day I discover new ones. But most of all its collaboration,
friendship and trust.

That even though we have different cultures and languages we can still
understand each other, work as a team and enjoy this differences together.
And between these differences we can also discover that we have many traits
in common.

Great experience! Thank you.
Thank you
for your
attention
