What they said about us...

We always want our participants to feel good, to learn something new in a fun way and gain as more experience as possible. This is what some of them wrote after the project finished.

I’m very happy that I’ve decided to participate in this project. I’ve got a lot of useful information. I’ve got to know a lot of new things about pet animal needs and most importantly rights in different countries. Also I’ve found out about carrier opportunities in animal welfare field in the UK, improved my English language skills and met a lot of interesting people and made new friends. The information was relevant and clearly presented and a lot of group exercises really helped with understanding it. I think that the project organization was also really good.

           In general it was very interesting and useful project for me, as I understand now, I didn't knew a lot of simply things about pets (about their needs, food, care and protection). So almost all discussions and presentations improved my knowledge about that.

           I really loved the presentations about animal welfare and animal protection. We have learnt a lot, and now I feel that I know much more about these topics. Also I hope that I have improved my English knowledge too. I really loved the traditional nights with the delicious foods (and I was very happy to see that almost everybody loved our food :)). I enjoyed to visit the shelter, it was very memorable for me. Also I really loved the breath-taking seaside. Yes, the project absolutely meet my expectations. I have learnt a lot about animal welfare and animal protection. I really loved the people, the place, the presentations and the beautiful seaside too.

         I was the most interested about the animal shelter in Plymouth, and the mentality towards animals in England and other countries. I learnt a lot about cats and animal protection in other countries. I got to know the customs and foods/drinks of other nationalities. I enjoyed the city of Plymouth, the beautiful seashore and the island, animal shelter and the beautiful white dog, international nights with other nations’ food and drink. Yes, I’m glad that I could take part in this project.

I decided to take part of this project, because it was the first time when I received the challenge to be a team leader and I totally enjoyed it. The most interested part of the project was regarding the way we should fead our pets (not everything we eat is also good for them). I had the opportunity to increased my knowledge about animal welfare too and British culture. I enjoyed orientation game, cultural nights, performance on animal welfare subject. The project had been a really good one.
