Czech Republic:

Each presentation was very original and well prepared. The idea of the Luxembourgish team was the best one. But we could see that the German and Danish students also worked very hard.

Denmark:

The presentations were very exciting; there were a lot of good ideas and a lot to think about. We are glad, that Denmark was a part of it.

Germany:

Everybody was very creative and the presentations were very interesting. Every country had different ideas and approaches, so you could see a great diversity, what has made it hard to take a decision. We could see the effort made by every country. But sometimes you couldn’t understand the people because of the language level.

Iceland:

Some presentations were very well done, well prepared and well preformed but not all.

Luxembourg:

Some of the presentations can’t be realized in our country. We think that the German presentation was one of the best.
