Pestalozzi 2012 - Quote of the month (05)
That workshops may influence on my real life, my work at school and also on the activities in my community. The ideas that were provided to us may be reflected also in reality, in our classrooms and if I succeed then dissemination has got its purpose. The teachers may get some influence on their colleagues and students. In a positive way, in a way that someone can even improve their personal characters. Social factor of the Module B is also important. I know so many new people, and I am glad that I got the chance to get to know them also in a content of friendship..
