  19. Assessment of themobilityactions “Reduce paper-work! Too much burden in Learning Agreement” “The training centres should be kept informed during all phases of the project” “Learning activities in the TC require a minimum level of the foreign language both for trainers and trainees” “Avoid scattering the trainess geographically” “A better global link between OPIR coordination and mobility is desirable” “Deeper discussion about assessment procedures is required before mobility” “It was difficult for our system to adjust to the OPIR calendar requirements” “The hosting centre wasn’t aware of documentation procedures” “In some cases, a tailor-made OPIR group was created; not the OPIR goal, but an overall sucess” OPIR - Conférence finale du 18 février 2011
