The empirical part presents the results of a study aimed at encouraging teachers to reflect upon their teaching and critically examine which changes they could implement in their work on the basis of the knowledge and experiences gained during the project training activities. The results indicate that the teachers are well aware of the benefits provided by the cross-border territory and are willing to implement changes in their teaching practice.
