I.
The difficulties encountered during the
project:
A major problem was the withdrawal from
the project of three kindergartens, what disrupted the early plans for the
project. The project involved six organizations-kindergarten. The project
failed to qualify for the Czech Republic, Romania and France.
Poland, Turkey and Finland were the
final countries. The tasks that were assigned to the Czech Republic, Romania
and France were split between Poland, Turkey and Finland. Only the task of
learning about the tradition and culture of countries: the Czech Republic,
Romania and France were excluded. The schedule in the application has been
slightly changed - that applies to deadlines assigned to specific tasks, all
because of the reduced number of partners, it was necessary to assign the task
for Turkey, Poland and Finland, in units of time, adapted to the abilities of
the participants of the project. Total mobility is preserved. Due to the
reduced number of partners, tour dates have been changed. The date shall be
agreed with partners. The project is progressing well, the tasks are carried
out, the results achieved.
