CULTURAL & LINGUISTIC PREPARATION


1. Spanish course: teaching method & participants outcomes
The group was given very intensive Spanish course by Yasmin Calle Garcia their Spanish teacher.
Yasmins teaching methods were very effective as she made learning fun. Through games and
interactive activities she created an enjoyable atmosphere in the class. Our Spanish classes can
be described by means of 2 words: dynamic and practical! We use an interactive method of
teaching based on learning by practicing. That means that grammar is covered as much as
possible by using practical situations, so speaking and actively using the language is central.
After twenty hours of intensive course students had a written exam.
2. Cultural activities
At the beginning of the groups stay, euroMind invited the group for a Seville Tour. During this
activity the participants had opportunity to get to know one of the most beautiful Spanish cities
according to most. There was an amazing list of sights worth to visit. Seville is a colorful and
vivid city that can be distinguished by a mixture of Roman reminiscences and Moorish
traditions. During Seville tour the participants were shown many Spanish symbols and
marvelous monuments, such as The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, The Royal Tobacco
Factory, General Archive of the Indies, Plaza Espaa, (the Spain Square) in Maria Luisa Park and
Torre de Oro (Gold Tower).

SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT


1. Provide a brief summary of the main aims, content and planned outcomes of your project,
including an assessment on the level of matching between the initial aims and the final
outcomes.
12 Greek trainees were obtaining experience, broadening their professional knowledge and
improving their skills for 2 weeks in December 2014 in IT sector.
According to the feedback from the trainees and their employers, we can claim that the project
was excellent and met expectations from all the participating parties.
euroMind team did their best to ensure good communication among the sending institution,
trainees and receiving organizations at every stage of the project, which contributed to the fact
that this project provided an enriching experience to all the participants.
The trainees had a chance to see the way of working in Spain, get to know a lot of useful
information, gain new professional experience to be implemented in their job back home, and
also enjoyed their stay via various socio-cultural activities the euroMind team prepared for
them.

2. Please provide a general evaluation of the project


euroMind team did their best in order to deliver the best professional and cultural experiences
to the trainees of the project, being always ready to help, give advice and solve any problems or
doubts24/7.
The trainees were fully satisfied with their work placements. They gained much needed
professional experience abroad, which is highly appreciated and sometimes even specifically
asked for by todays employers.
We have no doubt that our trainees will use their new knowledge and experience at their
current work in Poland, or to increase their chances in the labour market and dazzle their future
potential employers.
Moreover, the trainees learnt the basics of the Spanish language were able to work in a multicultural environment and proved they had the ability to work individually as well as in a team.
euroMind team was extremely satisfied with the trainees involvement in the project and
personal interest in whatever they participated in.
