Working Labs in B.I.C. - Békéscsaba
Laboratory / workshops ( feb.-okt. 2008) The
workshops were concentrating to the tourism
development of Bekescsaba. Pwpt presentations
informed the participants about the actual
development plan, which was very interested by
the team. They got acquainted by the SME ACTor
project and was told, that some of the tools will
be used during the meeting, which the
group-members can use too in their further
activities and later some of the participants can
use this knowledge as facilitator too.

Evaluations and lessons learnt

• Evaluation
• The interest from the different parties, SMEs and
  other organizations was promising and it seems,
  that a good common work can be done. The SMEs are
  mainly focusing on the practical profitability of
  their participation, getting some first hand
  information and some knowledge they can use in
  their work. On the other hand the organization
  representatives are more interested in the
  didactics and tools used that they can implement
  in their work.
• Lessons learnt
• -Participation should be checked one two days
  before the meeting by calls.
• -Time keeping is difficult, so tools (eg.
  sand-clock) should be introduced and/or
  agreements should be made in advance.
• -It would be useful to project the description of
  tools and case studies are always make the
  workshop more interesting.
