What were the biggest learning moments of the event for you?

Do you have any plans to continue being active in the field? If yes, in which way?

Piia Haab - My greatest desire is to offer students new, memorable experiences. Traveling to a foreign country, making new friends and practicing the language is definitely one of those experiences. I hope to get some more opportunities to participate in Erasmus+ projects with students in the future, so that more and more students can experience all this. I'm not ready to be the leader of the group yet, but I could be a supportive teacher, just like this time.

Levis Uuspuu - Yes, I would like to participate in other projects in the future as a participant.
