Training methods used & main activities

The training used non-formal educational activities, presentations, mini seminars, discussions, simulation games, individual and team working, visit to natural and cultural sights, intercultural and sport activities.
We worked with the existing experience of the participants, provide space for sharing their knowledge, and guided to new experience within the sessions.
The meeting encourages acquaintance with each others cultures, traditions, and lifestyles.
We strongly encouraged participants to bring presentation of their countries that will respond the topics of the training.

Outcomes of the activity

The feedback that we received from participants confirmed our expectations: the TC was a success and we created a wonderfull group dynamic also through the activities.
