We already had a lesson observation of the use of Scratch in a classroom with students.
In this activity we had project meetings, where all the partners presented their educational systems and the organisation of their schools; each delegation made presentations - “Festivals in my country: customs and traditions”; Gathering the worked-out results in order to be published on the portal, discussions on “Various festivals and traditions, a common Europe”, and discussions were also held, with conclusions, regarding project implementation and management and planning next study and training visit.
