Feelings about the project

● Everybody told us that in the begining it was a little bit difficult to communicate but then they got used to speaking in English.

● It's great to work with people from different countries with different cultures and knowledge because it allows us to compare our ideas and improve our language.

Some moments!

It was so fun! We will miss you all!
