Mrs. Sandra Boeme reminds the period, duration and details about the organization and carrying out of seminars also she talks about autonomous learning and learning in tandem using a power-point presentation. All partners discuss the better way of organizing the seminars. By the end we agree that each partner is free to organize the seminars as he wants provided that he promotes an average of four languages among those included in the project (that is: De., En., Es., It., Pl., Ro., Tr.) and that the seminars will be carried out in the period from November 2006 up to January 2007. Everybody agrees that the best period to run the seminars is January 2007. Mrs. Boeme reminds that each partner must devote 4 days to the preparation of seminars including a training meeting with teachers, publicity and enrolment.  All people interested in seminars that attended the “Lingue in Piazza “ event must be invited to attend the seminars by e-mail, letter or phone. At 13:30 we all have lunch in a dinning-room of the NH Cornella Hotel. At 15:00 all partners go back to the meeting-room and continue the discussion about seminars organization.  We all agree that according to the work-plan the duration of seminars including the preparation of contents, monitoring and running must be in all of 8 days work. All the people that will attend the seminars can fill in a form in our web-site www.lingueinpiazza.eu to learn the languages promoted in tandem. Each partner must duly publicize the seminars and disseminate the results locally. Ms. Simona Capatan reminds us that the project must be evaluated by an external expert as it says in the project outline.
