The students’ presentation (product/service)

1. What do you think about the different presentations of the students? Explain!

Czech Republic: Each presentation was very original and well prepared. The idea of the Luxembourgish team was the best one. But we could see that the German and Danish students also worked very hard.

Denmark: The presentations were very exciting; there were a lot of good ideas and a lot to think about. We are glad, that Denmark was a part of it.

Germany: Everybody was very creative and the presentations were very interesting. Every country had different ideas and approaches, so you could see a great diversity, what has made it hard to take a decision. We could see the effort made by every country. But sometimes you couldn’t understand the people because of the language level.

Iceland: Some presentations were very well done, well prepared and well preformed but not all.

Luxembourg: Some of the presentations can’t be realized in our country. We think that the German presentation was one of the best.

Spain: All the presentations were very different, it was really interesting.

2. Do you think that your preparation for this meeting was well done?

Germany: Yes, we worked out a business plan and tried to make the stay of the guests as well as we could.

Germany: Yes, but we think some of the ideas crossed each other e.g. the idea of creating a tourist office, therefore it would have been nice to know if someone had exactly the same idea as another group. Maybe a neutral person could have had a look on that.
