uniformly in the toolkit, planning the division of work between the partners, discussion of quality criteria for the language

practice opportunities, ...

- Development of 3 language practice opportunities in a heritage context followed and assessement of the lessons by all participants, making emphasis on feedback.

- Organisation of some informal activities to get to know each other better and  strengthen the social cohesion of the

division of tasks and quality criteria.

- An increased expertise of the teachers involved regarding heritage and heritage education.

- An increased awareness of heritage among all stakeholders
