  23. Advisers’ voices I’ve improved the way I design trainingcourses and implemented the majority of ideas...teachers like mynew approach totraining.. I’ve also noticed that other colleagueschanged the structure of their training courses, and togetherwith one colleague I am preparing a course... The greatest value of the programme is that content and methods provided a better insight into the aim of training, and effective training of teachers as adult learners. You just can’t ignore what you’ve experienced, learned and understood as the programme participant. Sanja Milović - senior advisor for international cooperation, ETTA
