The evaluation is based on the answers of 22 pupils (the participants of this meeting) from 6 countries: Spain, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Czech Rep. and Poland.

1. What did you learn about the Lithuanian culture and lifestyle during the period of your stay in his/her home?

The pupils – participants of this project meeting - think that Lithuanian people are kind, nice, respectful, honest, generous, friendly, tidy, funny, and attentive; they tried to be like family. Everyone can be a friend in spite of the different culture.
Lithuanian people follow the world’s news. They love sports very much and they are crazy about basketball; basketball is more popular than football.
The pupils learnt about Lithuanian school system, they think that the Lithuanian pupils study much, many people can talk Russian.
Lithuanians eat much and whenever they want, they eat many potatoes, many vegetables, food is delicious.
In some places the pupils had to take off their shoes and this fact was very interesting to them.



2. Did this experience help you improve your communication skills in the foreign language? Explain how it did or why it did not.

The pupils think that the meeting itself and living in the families helped them to improve their communication skills, pronunciation, enriched the vocabulary, because at first it was difficult for some of them to speak English, they had to use gestures. But they had to speak English all the time and Lithuanian pupils helped them a lot.



3. How relevant was the programme of this meeting to the development of our project “Photography as a Pedagogical Tool? Evaluate from 1 to 10.

The meeting was relevant, 9.

Some pupils think, that the program was important, the meeting was nice, as they met many new people, made friends with the pupils from other countries, “learnt a lot of things about new cultures”.

Some pupils did not express themselves very clearly, maybe because they did not know the words.
