What people say about this course

It has been my first Erasmus+ course and the experience couldn’t have been better. The course, the trainers, the cultural activities have been just perfect.

Daniel, IES Tirso de Molina, Spain

Starting with my initial correspondence with (IDEC and Lila) to my arrival and training/cultural program, I have been nothing short of impressed by the quality of the course, the hospitality, organization of time and activities emphasis, on teamwork and group dynamics… it has been an absolute pleasure!!!.

Slava, Maria’s World Foundation, Bulgaria

I came with really optimistic expectations because I liked the program of the course! And my expectations were covered. Apart of the learning process, I had a lot of fun, my mind was provoked. I really enjoyed the changing trainers because it was like a one-week brain gym. You learn flexibility, characters and different styles of presenting information which is very important and useful.

Gergana, Maria’s World Foundation, Bulgaria

I really enjoyed this course. I learnt a lot about methodologies and activities to do in my classes. The organization was perfect, the teachers were well prepared and friendly. It was a great experience.

A professional atmosphere and very good trainers.

Simion, Secondary School Altina, Romania

Comparing to other Erasmus+ courses I attended, this one is well organized. IDEC was a practical and useful support. The content of the course stimulate my desire to improve teaching abilities. Jean is really a facilitator not a teacher.

I will recommend this course because it gave me new skills and new challenges useful to my job.

The course was even better than I expected. Thank you for planning, organizing and support.

Carol, Srednja škola Hrvatski kralj Zvonimir, Croatia

This course was truly innovative: the contens, materials and ideas to work. I learned a whole lot and now i feel better equiped to teach. I look forward to putting into practice the methods that i have learned here. Thank you Jean and IDEC.

The subjects are very actual: dynamic, creative, and innovative

The course was excellent!

Marija, Kuldigas pamatskola, Latvia

I recommend this course to every teacher, because it makes you be more creative, active and to think the other way what is so necessary if we want to get out of the everyday routine.

Kristine, Kuldigas pamatskola, Latvia

I enjoyed the course very much as it opened new horizons in teaching methodology, which was my first reason for coming. I would recommend the course to other teachers. Thank you all both for the course and the cultural and social activities.

Olga Maria, Agrupamento de Escolas de Ermesinde, Portugal

For me it was very nice to meet teachers from all over Europe. It was also a very good course where I learned a lot of new ways to look at my own course. I loved the fact that we could test many things by ourselves. Spending a week in Athens (Piraeus) was also a great experience. It was nice to discover that the Greek people are very friendly and hospitable. I also noticed my English was much better after one week. I should do this more often.

Karen, GO! Spectrumschool, Belgium

Very practical course that gives you methods and practice and also ideas to use in real life situations. Everything is well-planned so that students can have the best possible experience with knowledge about the subject, local culture, socializing with other students and having fun!

Pilleriin, Hiiu Valla Raamatukogu, Estonia

IDEC provided everything I needed to feel welcomed and ready to learn. I got a good mix of theory, practice, cultural and social activities, warm hospitality and professionalism. I recommend the center.

Kathryn, Balletskolen Holstebro, Denmark

The course was very good even for a practical based school. All teachers can learn something!

Manuel, GO! Spectrumschool, Belgium

IDEC is a real friendly place, warm and well-coming atmosphere. Teaching is in a high standard and the social programme makes sure that you’ll interact with colleagues from all over Europe. Get contacts, learn about other countries. I’ll recommend IDEC to all of my colleagues.

Birgit, Balletskolen Holstebro, Denmark

Most teachers have probably heard about these methods but did not have enough opportunities to talk to someone who is actually using them in practice. This course offers such an opportunity as well as the opportunity to think more about ways to implement these methods in (and out of) the classroom. For innovation it is necessary to step out of the daily teachers’ routine and have a time to reflect. IDEC provides opportunity and meaningful input for the reflection.

Blahoslav, Stredni skola filmova, multimedialni a pocitacovych technologií, s.r.o., Czech Republick

The course was a new experience for me. I am glad to meet new people (trainees, trainers, hosting assistants) from other countries … Thank you for everything!

Vesna, Osnovna škola “Petar Zoranić” Nin, Croatia

It was “fresh air” to my ability to teach!

Great course with good teacher and colleagues!

Jose María, IES L’Estació, Spain

I’ve learned a lot during this course and I feel enthusiastic to put the methods in practice with my students. It really exceeded my expectations!

Sandra Isabel, Agrupamento Sebastião da Gama, Portugal

It was a fascinate experience! I learned a lot of important and innovative teaching methods, but I also received lots of important information for my personal development.

Claudia Sofia, Agrupamento Sebastião da Gama, Portugal

So much things I have learned, so much things that I knew already but here my mind was so open to get everything that I can’t say how good it was. I just say that after this course I as a person and as a teacher will be a better for sure. I liked it so much that I tank the Greek Gods to give me this opportunity! Thank you very much.

Teresa Maria, Agrupamento Sebastião da Gama, Portugal

I am very satisfied of the course. It’s like open door for me, which gives me a lot of opportunitoes. Thank you!
