The first meeting was quite a challenge. It was the first time we were working together. Most of us didn't know the other members of the group. That's why we hardly had time for "traditional Finnish cups of coffee". But everything went well in the end and we managed to find compromises in all the topics we dealt with.

I think we should improve communication strategies. Sometimes discourse went astray because of misunderstandings. We need to better stick to rules and application form. We should insist on constant update of info regarding Erasmus+ policies to make sure we abide by the requirements. We should work harder on cohesion and cooperation.. The group is doing very well but that feature should be reinforced. Pre-visit arrangements should be shared more. Managerial roles can be implemented during visits and during the time at home.

Being more clear of what tasks follow although this is not much of a problem as we constantly communicate. For instance, when we left Finland I got the impression that each country completes one evaluation form. It's OK it was clarified there is one for each person.

I would like to have the final agreements about the things to do very clear at the end of the meetings, so you can start working with your students when you come back to your school without having changes afterwards. .

In future meetings decisions should be taken paying attention to the opinions of all of us.

Nothing

I wouldn't mind having some more sleep… But this also depends on the fact that we had so much to learn, especially those who were new to this kind of project like myself.

1. More time for discussions or organized working sessions/workshops in which we could work on a topic in smaller groups and then present it for further discussion in the whole group. Eg. working session/workshop on how to plan activity one, or on didactical practices (I think that we have very different ways of teaching - so it could be used both as an inspiration for all of us, but also contribute to a better understanding of how the countries look at an activity like the timetable or Power Point presentations etc. - we had some discussion on these topics, and I'm not sure we reached a complete understanding or agreement on them. 2. Keeping time better - both during coffee breaks and during sessions. 3. I would also have liked to hear more about/ having a discussion about what we think innovation and entrepreneurship is and how we work with it in our schools - also if it is almost not there yet.

We can achieve more in less time if we all know well what the application states, so that we do not waste time "re-building" the project. Everyone should spend sufficient time in studying it.

Less focus on details and more on broad lines.

I would like more warm feelings between the partners.

More time to project and describe the way every partner should cooperate itself. I think we should stick to the steps showed in the application form and not change too much by the way.

We should open the agenda more before the meeting as different people have different ideas on the issues.

There are no improvements which I consider necessary.

More free time. :)
