  1. EMMT 2 Evaluation of the Project Madrid, 28th April, 2006

  2. Preparation of the Workshops • Self-study phase • Meetings in national groups • Study of indicated literature & handouts • Use of the Internet • Communicating with colleagues by e-mail • Individual reflections

  3. Impressions: • Very useful and effective form of self-organized preparation • Guidelines from the expert of the next workshop were very useful • Some participants lacked support from their own mentors. • General satisfaction by the way the preparation was done

  4. Objectives and aims • Some frustrations and misunderstandings at the beginning • Uncertainty about objectives and aims. • Some participants were not middle managers • Some participants could not communicate in English effectively. • After lots of discussions a good and strong fundament was created for the development process.

  5. Work in national groups • The work in national groups went quite well, although some difficulties to meet due to geographic distance • It was useful to get to know colleagues and their work conditions • Good working atmosphere based on trust and effective work. • The mentors did not play the role of supervisors and facilitators, as it was foreseen

  6. Work in European groups • The parrticipants ereally enjoyed the European approach • During and just after the seminars European interaction took place • English: after some initial frustrations, during the learning process, everybody got more familiar and confident to express themselves • Giood experience of sharing national ideas in European teams

  7. The atmosphere during the process • Good balance of “hard core learning” and cultural experience • Atmosphere: Very co-operative, friendly, supportive, funny and full of partnerships.

  8. The learning language • A document on the procedure of evaluation of the English language skills was created and sent to the participants • NEGATIVE: • This procedure was not followed in some cases • The improvement of English was done during the process and not before – as it was intended • It took some time to some participants to understand the idea of linguistic preparation.

  9. The learning language (II) • POSITIVE: • In the cases were this procedure was followed, it worked very effectively. • The linguistic problems were reduced during the process. • To set up an innovative approach to language preparation. • A very distinct and precise procedure was developed

  10. The learning language (III) • Lessons to be learned: • to have a stronger support from local experts or mentors in the evaluation of their participants • The process of evaluation should be carried out before the programme starts • The process of evaluation should be simpler or easier to understand and follow

  11. The level of involvement and activity • Self-directed learning was the key word • The participants contributed constructively to the learning process, both indicvidually and in groups • The level of involvement was high and satisfactory

  12. Social and practical arrangemets • The participants were satisfied with social, practical and cultural arrangements • Maybe, too much time spent on travelling • General satisfaction with the level of activity and organization in the host countries
