Creating a business idea




During the first week of the project the aim was to develop a business idea. The students were divided into six groups with three members in each. In every group there was at least one boy and all group members were from different countries. The common language of the group was English.

At the end of the week all groups introduced their ideas to all members of the project, both teachers and students. The ideas were presented by power point and all group members took part in the performance.  Interestingly all ideas were about offering customers services in different fields starting from pets´ care to web design.
