The results of this students’ performance assessment allow us to summarize the following key points:

Improvement in language and study skills: students improved their English by using it in building up their works and communicating; students improved their method of learning (researching, analyzing, synthesizing, using maps,…)

Improvement in social skills: communicating, interacting, co-operating, sharing

Using ICT while making their activities

Very high students’ motivation

Few students used the logos of Erasmus+ and NA on their works

Few students used the name of the project on their works

General lack of attention to define the sources on their works
