Things to consider

• You must always plan your projects with the
  teachers involved, agree on when the project wil
  take place, and how much time you will spend on
  it.
• You must take into consideration when your
  partner countries have holidays, project weeks,
  examinations etc.

13
Things to consider

• You must do your best to finish your letters
  within the time agreed upon.
• On the other hand you must accept that things can
  happen break down of hardware illness etc.
• Your projects must always be adjusted to the
  weakest part e.g. you cannot exchange photos by
  e-mail if not both have the possibility of
  scanning or using digital cameras.

14
Things to consider

• It is important to start with some sort of
  introduction to make you know more about your
  partners.
• If something prevents you from finishing your
  letters in time send your partner an e-mail and
  tell why.

15
Things to consider

• If your partner has been sent an e-mail, and if
  you dont get an answer - use snail mail or
  phone, or let your national coordinator help you.
• Make sure that you dont hurt your partners
  feelings, when you contact them.
