Evaluation of the WS
Evaluation from Delhi Chapter
This session was an enriching experience, an eye opener that enabled us to understand the sensitive areas and aspects that need to be looked into and taken care of during an interchange. It helped us to enhance our personalities. This training session was an in- depth study about Interchange Programme which covered all the topics which were knowledgeable and of course useful.
Interchange Programme was highly effective and very informative, especially the guidelines, rules, standards and how to plan a summer programme, how to deal with risk management. Everything was of keen importance, also how to go about interchange and what all arrangements are to be done by chapter 1 and chapter 2, quality assurance etc....
We have extracted best of our information through this workshop.
There was an overall participation, no deviation from the topics. Everything was being done in a cool and calm environment but evaluation part was lacking in the programme.
It was overall an exciting learning experience. It is certainly going to be effective to organize an interchange Programme and understand the cross-cultural aspects, thus making it an sensitive issue. It also gave us some tips on how to solve problems in our day to day lives. This workshop shall make interchange more organized.
