CMV was fortunate enough to be granted a lump sum for a Grundtvig Learning Partnership 2 years ago in order to participate in a project dealing with intercultural dialogue and blended learning, BLaID in short.
From 9 to 13 June the last face-to-face meeting was held and organised by our Lithuanian partner from Zemaitijos College in Rietavas. And what a wonderfully well organised meeting it became. As part of an international week all the BLaID partners had the opportunity to talk to other international contacts as well while visiting local cultural hotspots and networking at the same time with people from Romania, Germany and Ukraine.
Apart from a number of interesting talks on other projects and project ideas, we could also compile relevant information and compare notes for the final report to be handed in within a few weeks.
Even though our project was a learning partnership, focussed more on the process than on products, all project members emphasized that we had produced quite an impressive number of concrete results. Actually, we had even established more than originally envisaged in the project application.
This was definitely one of the most positive and rewarding project experiences I've ever had and I was not the only one in thinking so. Each project member has benefited enormously from the BLaID activities.
No one could have anticipated that the basis we had laid at a contact seminar in Bucharest in February 2007 would turn out to be so successful.
