1.1. Contact and Communication

73.9% of the students stated that the initial contact via WhatsApp prior to the meeting was “very good”, while 26.1% rated it as “good.”

Communication within the group was also evaluated positively (73.9% “very good”, 26.1% “good”), indicating that the students were able to collaborate effectively throughout the project.

One of the main objectives of the Erasmus+ program was language development. All participants were able to communicate successfully in English or German within the international group.

During the project, several workshops took place (creation of posters, videos, and podcasts), allowing participants to actively engage with the topic of sustainability.

95.7% of the respondents felt that they were able to fully participate in the workshops, which demonstrates that the program was well organized and accessible to everyone.

The support provided by the teachers was also evaluated extremely positively:
95.7% of the students rated the preparation and follow-up work as “very good.”

2.1. Suggestions for Improving the Workshops

✅ More practical tasks:
Although participants were actively involved in the workshops, it would be beneficial to include even more interactive elements, such as collaborative projects or simulation games.

✅ Language preparation courses:
To ensure that everyone feels comfortable communicating, language training sessions could be organized in advance, especially for those who feel less confident in English or German.

During the project, students visited many exciting places, which were evaluated very positively by the majority.

91.3% of the students found the visit to Chopok Mountain, the caves, and the bison reserve “very interesting.”

The visit to the sustainable sports complex was also engaging, although opinions differed slightly:
52.2% found it “exciting,” while 47.8% described it as “interesting.”

The excursion to Bratislava and other city tours were also a great success.

3.1. Suggestions for Improving the Excursions

More free time:
Some students expressed the wish for more free time in order to explore the cities or the surrounding areas independently.

Shorter bus journeys:
Long bus trips were considered tiring by many participants; therefore, it might be useful to plan more shorter excursions or optimize transportation times.
