An evaluation questionnaire - results

A project evaluation questionnaire was completed in three partner schools by students and teachers.
The students and teachers participation in the project was voluntary.
13 Polish students visited a partner school in Gutersloh in Germany and 7 students visited a partner school in Teramo in Italy. Nine Italian students and three German students came to  Zabrze in April 2013.
All the students improved their culinary, language, IT, interpersonal and organization skills. Most students also impoved their sports, communication and life skills.
All the students who partcipated in the project became more self-confident, tolerant and open to new cultures.
Students improved their eating habits, they pay more attention to the quality of food the buy.
They also notice the fact that they know much more about the negative effects of smoking and eating junk food than it was before the project started.
Most students participate in school life more actively. They take part in different school events not only related to our Comenius project. They initiate their own activities.
They shared their project experience with their family and friends. All the students consider their participation in the project to be a very important life experience and an unforgettable adventure.
All the students would recommend similar projects to their friends because such projects develop their personal and professional skills, they help to develop students' strong points and overcome weaknesses.
The majority of students consider partner school visits as most interesting project events. Meetings with experts, voluntary and charity work, culinary and sports activities  were very important for them as well.
Teachers improved mainly their personal and professional skills. The project was beneficial for all three schools. Polish partner school organized a lot of events, which enabled local community to integrate and develop mutual cooperation.



Polish Comenius Team presents a short film about the project activities.
