Feedback from participants

"As a new teacher to eTwinning, I needed to spend more time learning about the process before the workshop. I have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of all involved and just how much is happening in Europe. England is renowned for our lack of liaison with European schools and this is an excellent opportunity to form links and gain access to some websites for other teachers in my school. I shall run many workshops for my own teachers and have an excellent project idea." - Roskilde, Denmark, March 2009

"I think all workshops were interesting (some extremely) and useful. I’m new to eTwinning and frankly speaking I was quite unsure if I could join a project, not to mention a pre-primary one. During those three days I learned a lot, gained self-assurance and now I’m sure I’m preparing a project next school year. I also met many fascinating people, I hope to cooperate with some of them. Thank you so much." - Warsaw, Poland, May 2009
