Implementation of the mechanisms of evaluation: the meetings and all activities. Our website: the tool to assess the project.

Professor Carmen Torres explains to the other members of the project the procedure to assess each of the activities carried out. Unfortunately the website doesnt work in Turkey so she has to indicate by heart where to find the instruments of evaluation of the common activities of the project, as well as the mechanism to complete them.

The following agreements are reached: - Complete evaluations for each of the schools before May 17, 2013. - Charting the results of evaluations. - Check the comments box works in polls. - Prepare an assessment for those extra activities already undertaken and which were not included in the project working plan.
