grantee?

● Before the event, a registration google form will be released asking the participants
interests about intercultural education and their initial overview about it. This
pre-assessment shall serve as a basis for the success of the event after an evaluation
survey is given to them after the event.
● After the event, a link to a survey will be emailed to all attendees in order to get their
feedback on the program. Their responses will be incorporated into the published
materials posted on the community page and will be taken into account when future
