Summary of bilateral results
The cooperation with Norwegian partner took place throughout the project, right from its design phase, when all the details were established, both with the economic operator and with the unit in Norway. The host institution was positively involved in the project activity, drawing up a program of the study visit adapted to the project requirements, they helped the visitors to find an accommodation unit close to their school unit, they provided the Romanian teachers/tutors with different information about the location, they provided us with information about the weather, the necessary expenses during the visit. Even after the visit, the cooperative relations were maintained, providing us with all the required information, and signing the documents requested by the agency. They provided the visitors with the necessary information to make the good practice manual, the comparative guide between the 2 education systems. The project went well in the end, managing to achieve our goals and achieve the final products.
