"The project was well integrated in the school's profile and interests. The activities were well accepted by all and integrated in the school's calendar and activities. The participants maintained motivated and willing to do their best and take the best advantages of the theme and the project. The products were very interesting, the students worked hard and their final presentation for the school's community was recognized by all. 

The project has been very interesting. The students are very motivated with the idea of working in a European project, getting to know other people and develop work related to their technical field. For the school, it has been a very good experience getting to know other partners, know how others work in the field and getting our work internationally acknowledged. 

The coordinators have done an amazing job and worked really hard throughout the project on the organization and project coordination. The budget was really tight, it was extremely difficult to manage the budget. 

We intend to keep on working with Industry 4.0 and develop our classes with this tools.

Thank you very much for your support, your organization and your ideas. "

The activities were very adequate, the participants in the seminars - teachers and students - were motivated and interested in the field.  The mobilities corresponded to the expected and very good opportunities to know what other countries have been doing in the Industry 4.0 field and share good practices and ideas. 

The project management was good, we recognize the effort from the coordinators; the only problem was the budget management, because it was very difficult to manage such a short budget.

Continue working with these digital tools.

Without any doMainly, two things were brought to our daily life:
