Activities before mobility

Before coming our guests lots of preparations had been done. We had chosen host families, booked hotels for teachers. We had planned 6 days of mobility in details to avoid unnecessary delays and problems. We had prepared the old games and practised them together. Symbols and icons of partner countries were found and presented.
