Evaluation of the work undertaken:As the project started later than was supposed and all supporting materials as well as common guidelines were lacking, the first period of the project could not be fully active. The deadlines of the project and the hoilidays in Finland did not match, which also meant that we could not achieve the objectives set for this period. As the schools start again in mid-August, there will be good opportunities to fullfill the remaining tasks.
The participating schools have been very interested in the project and have provided good material for the portal.It takes time to get all interested schols to join the project, so sometimes the dealines are too tight. There will be more schools and stories even after the deadline, but now the minimum number of all has been achieved.
