Description
In today's world we often face challenges, that we have to manage. It doesn't matter if we talk about environmental pollution or tourism facilities or added value to farmer's products. With this project we plan to help students, tourist workers and farmers to cope with that and not to be afraid of new things or new situations. The objective of the project is to teach students and farmers new approaches in what they are doing and give them knowledge and self-esteem to start something different, something new. We expect our listeners will take in consideration things that they will hear and try to incorporate them in their work or products. To achieve this as much as possible we will have lectures and workshops to strengthen these knowledge. If people are doing something is always better than just sit and listen. But if we combine this together and make some theoretical basis and than upgrade this with practical work, the result is even better. Target group is not just one, is everyone who wants to take part in those lectures. But it is meant for students, farmers and tourist workers. Both of partners GRM Novo mesto and University Centre of the Westfjords will have a big role in project by recruiting audience for lectures and workshops and also to prepare good lectures and workshops for the audience. The partnership will achieve exchange of good practices and knowledge.
Summary of project results
This project was needed to make some new connections in Iceland and to improve language and teaching skills of lecturers. The sustainability will be extent by implementing new skills and knowledge in lectures during the study year. The objective was totally reached, because we made some new connections in Iceland and we learned something new about teaching. The outcome was that we all learned something about different countries and way of living and gained some professional experiences for teaching. The main output was to prepare quality lectures for students and make new connections. All four lecturers had 5 hours of lectures for different target groups and listeners were very satisfied with information they got. All participants were deeply involved because of their lectures and preparations they had. For them was the main benefit to get new experience to lecture in different language and to make deeper discussion about the topic they had.
Summary of bilateral results
Without finances we got, we would not be able to make such a project. It was more than welcome to get these experiences for all of us. All of the outcomes and outputs were achieved because all the lectures were professional and interesting for the audience. We also made good bilateral relations and are continuing to lecture for each other. Because we do not have opportunity to make it in person, we make it virtual.
