participants testimonies from previous rounds
There was a balanced mixture of lectures, workshops, field work, and hands on activities. Thus making it more interesting, practical and easy to adopt in our sending institution.
I enjoyed outings near the sea more than enclosed in the same place, even though staff were very welcoming and organized with valued material.
The practical aspects in the course really helped the participants get into the idea of the sea, the living creatures and how to reduce marine litter. We should incorporate more such hands on approaches with the children and colleagues we work with.
It was a real Erasmus+ training. How it should be. Pity I cannot send all the school’s staff for such training!
Variation in the related topics was achieved, I really enjoyed and learnt a lot.
I enjoyed the fact that the lectures/ field work etc. were hosted in different sites.
I give positive recomendation for other colleagues that may wish to participate in such courses, we have benefited from this training course and found it useful in our education profession.
