THE INITIATIVE PROMOTER’S PERSPECTIVE
Context & specific needs: a specific geographic region (the lower valley of the River Gail, neighboring Italy and Slovenia) where there was a strong need to introduce three languages and cultures from early childhood.

The evaluation was made by parents & teachers and showed high level of acceptance and wish to continue developing trilingual education from kindergarten to maturity.
Its impact is impressive: registration for the kindergartens involved doubled since the project started.
recognition of the originality of the project and the success it had from the very beginning. The promoters wanted to establish a start point to extend trilingual teaching to all teaching levels after the project finished.

Message: We were asked during the workshop to identify in the Nellip data base specific elements necessary to write good project proposals. \"Three Hands\" is also a good example of measurable impact of the initiative. We have to design from the beginning appropriate instruments which help measuring the progress and the impact of the project during its lifetime and after the end of the project.

Message: A very good example of adaptation to the local context and to the real needs of the beneficiaries! To be retained for future projects: as mentionned in the Guidelines also, a detailed analysis of the stakeholders and of the local situation leads to a successful project proposal and to very good results.
