Although the target of this project has been the whole "teaching innovatively" aspect, particularly connected to the ICT angle, I think the actual privilege of visiting other countries, and experiencing for yourself other cultural environments, and other approaches to education, have an even more significant impact. Obviously, I speak for myself when I say I became a bit more relaxed in my attitude towards students, in the sense that I am perhaps more lenient to their occasional shortcomings. I noticed that seemingly laxer systems - at least compared to the Romanian one - such as the Swedish or the Spanish one, seem to yield good results nonetheless, so perhaps strict discipline and an even stricter enforcement of it, are not necessarily the only keys to a good educational system.
