All teachers who were involved in piloting the training resources filled in questionnaires prepared by the project team. The answers were processed and a common evaluation report was created. With the provided answers and comments the teachers evaluated some important aspects of the training resources from the Resource Pack. They provided some suggestions for changes in the training resources considering the practical implementation in the classroom. The suggestions and modifications had been processed by the project management teams and were discussed with the authors of the Resources Pack. Some of the suggestions were accepted and the necessary changes had been made before the joint staff training event held in Serbia earlier in September, 2021.

The project management teams discussed the forthcoming tasks for the last year of the project – implementation in schools, extra training events at local level, evaluation and dissemination activities, issues with some sections of the web site, etc.
