Dissemination at the teachers meeting at Ekonomska šola Murska Sobota
On the 12 May 2015 the teachers of Ekonomska šola Murska Sobota had a meeting at school so I took the opportunity to present them the project and all the work that has been done to date. 29 teachers of different subjects such as math, geography, history, economy but also languages took part in the dissemination.
The teachers at the meeting were informed about the project partners, the goals of the project and the results of the project so far. I mentioned the needs analysis report, all the translations done included national dishes and the course syllabus. I also presented them the project website and the e-learning platform, which will be available to anyone interested in the use of it. I showed them the examples already uploaded on the platform and gave some suggestions about how to use them. However, the most interesting part of the presentation seemed to be the smartphone app with all the different suggestions in all the different languages. The teachers found the app quite useful and user-friendly. Furthermore, I handed them out the project flyers to provide them with some more information about the project and asked them to tell friends and other people about it. Some teachers already approached me after the meeting asking if they could upload the app on their smartphones.
