Comments from Herve THILY (FRANCE)

Did meeting in Estonia fulfill your reason for attending?
Yes it did! I have become familiar with the specific features of Estonia, its size and educational policy, including ICT efforts and the Tiigrihüuppe program. Follow-up will take place im March 2009 with a videoconference between Tiigrihüuppe Office and rouen University through a "virtual tour" of E.U best practice sites.

What was the most interesting for you?
Apart from the necessary data about context, I think school visits were most interesting. Opportunities to exchange with teachers and students alike (of all ages) was especially rewarding:

What do you think about Estonia?
A small and dynamic country whose population is bent on making the best of European opportunities through ICT and international projects so that the young people of Estonia get a fair share in the job market. The focus on the importance of top-quality education and training among all the people we have met in Tallinn was particularly impressive. Thanks to the host and the people who assisted Pille.
