Results and discussion 
 
In general, the project week with its organizational and structural concept has been well 
accepted with both students and teachers, providing a positive motivation for work in less 
formal learning environments. However, setting up the organisational foundations has proven to 
be rather challenging throughout the years, especially in case of more teachers being absent 
(e.g. sick leave) from the project week activities. 
Regarding the English and German project week group, the project week content and its 
implementation have always been given a positive feedback and enthusiasm from students and 
both mentors. Students have improved many skills, starting with the basic ones of reading and 
writing in a foreign language, continuing with technical skills, which have resulted in the 
students‘ usage of digital technology and knowledge of computer editing programmes. Generic 
skills that revolve around problem solving and critical thinking are best portrayed in students‘ 
ability to extract basic tourist informationwhen compiling a report in a foreign language or 
when being in front of the camera and critically approaching their performance (and correcting 
it if needed). The so-called ‗‗soft‘‘ skills are best represented in students‘ willingness to work 
and interact in teams, using primarily English (and less German) language although most of 
them come from different educational programmes and classes; students are open to innovative 
approach in using digital technology and easily adapt to the changing environment and cultural 
differences in another domestic or foreign tourist destination. In the field of leadership, students

show their ability of team-building spirit and peer-to-peer mentoring, especially when 
compiling both a written report in a published booklet and an edited video. Equally important 
are managerial and entrepreneurial skills, which might pose a positive effect on students‘ 
leadership and communication skills and boost their self-confidence in the long term. 
All in all, by challenging so many different skills, the students gain access to the 
key competences that are integrated in the whole project week concept:
1. language competence in the sense of using English and/or German for a written report and a 
video;
2. intercultural ability in terms of researching and getting to know other geographical areas and 
cultures;
3. aesthetic competence in enabling the students to go beyond the formal framework and create 
something on their own (a report in a booklet and a video);
4. social competence in the sense of being able to co-operate with others and understand the 
meaning of teamwork; 
5. information literacy in terms of using computer-aided tools and modern multimedia 
technologies and developing strategies to work with sources and data. 
The whole conference article with its theoretical background that I have explored above, 
has given me an insight into how valuable the project week experience always turns out to be, 
how much there is to gain by both students and teachers for professional and personal 
development and honestly, there is nothing more exciting than the next destination, the new 
team…another challenge.
