CONCLUSIONS
We sent a proposal of cooperation to several schools.
Typical answer:
„We do not run such workshop often and not one at the moment.”
As the start of semesters in each of the cooperating schools differ the problem is the scheme for exchange and joint sessions
We need different models of cooperation!
Last semester we focused on developing methods of cooperation
