Session. It starts with the evaluation of the meeting in Poland in June.

Rita asks all participants if they have got any feed back on their local
reports. All reports have been approved but the French partner has got
negative feed back on the logo and on the Facebook page that it´s closed.
The Lithuanian partner has got feedback saying that MoTech should be
more exposed locally, e.g. in articles and activities in schools where the
things we have learned could be adapted.
The meeting agrees that our project should be shown more on the home
pages of the partners.
Rita wants us to look at her local web page: http://www.suaugplunge.lt/pssc-projektai/
The Turkish partner say that Mevlut Aydogmus hasn´t got any newsletter and that several participants are not on the mailing list.
The meeting agrees to make a second Newsletter. Everybody is expected
to send material, presentations, photos etc. for the period 1st September
to 1st December. This will be collected and edited by the Swedish partner
and then passed on to Rita.
