What has helped us to  succeed in the project? • The partners knew each other well before the project • Same teachers and non‐educational partners participate in every project week, students vary • Good planning of the project: two rounds in applying and two preparatory meetings while writing the application • Good planning of the actual timetable well in advance in the academic year • Keep it simple: all the partners understood and agreed what we are aiming at • Clear agreements on hospitality during the project weeks • Lots of humour during the project weeks Leonardo da Vinci

Challenges in the project • Different rules in participating countries related to e.g.  accomodation • Agreement on timetables related to arrivals and  departures during the project weeks • Programmes sometimes too ambitious during the project week ‐> too many targets • The balance between theoretical and practical part of  the programme
