Gabriela, Scoala Gimnaziala comuna Timisesti, Romania

I really enjoyed the course, I recommend IDEC.

Marina, Primary School Giolou, Cyprus

I liked it very much!

Marta, Agrupamento de Escolas de Alcanena, Portugal

The course was both stimulating and delivered with valuable content. Very pleasant, theoretical and practical in a balanced way. I could take it again. It tought us to remember to create and break routine and communicate that to our public. Creativity is a very underestimated subject although it is the fuel to everything we do and the way to always go forward.

Alexandra, Agentia pentru Dezvoltare Regionala Nord-Est, Romania

I enjoyed it! Congratulations!

Joao, Agrupamento de Escolas de Alcanena, Portugal

It was good inspiration for the future and a good starting point to change the way I teach at school.
