1. A description of the activities undertaken during the unit, including comments on the reactions of the group/individual participants

a. The activity reacts on the interest of the participants to present Roma traditional and nontraditional cuisine to the public

b. Discussion - talking about the needs of the group in this field, listning to the suggestions of the participants - for example on creating Roma cook book.

c. We focused on the needs of the group. We discussed not only Roma food but also a Czech cuisine. The cook book uncovered many untraditionall recepies, however we are not planning to use them in the Roma cookbook that we plan. This book will only serve as a concept of structure to the cookbook.
Many of the participants came with their own recepies , which nobody else had heard of. The decided it woíuld be the best to start with traditional Roma food , that was why we started with the recepy on "marikle".

d. The group concluded that at the next session they will use the computer to puit the recepy into the written form. This enables the participants to be learning the basdics on the computer at the same time.

e. The next seminar was scheduled for 9th May 2008

2. Was the aim of the unit achieved (the implementation of practical skills and the pedagogical aim)?

All the attendees participated on discussion and explained to the others their suggestions on the food which should be included in the planned cookbook. We could detect the differences in the way of presentation of the idea in front of the public (the rest of the group), some participants espressed their thoughts more coherently asnd briethly than others ,however overall, each of the participants was able to give a detailed explanation to the nature of the food and the recepy in a way so everzbody else understood it.
We did not try the ability of the participants to put the thoughts in writing because that task is scheduled for the next session.

Very important was the decision on creating Roma cookbok, because that will mean we will gradually be working on developing key competencies - expressing of the ideas in native language on the upcoming sessions.

3. Other remarks (for example on the group and the interaction between artistic and educational elements)
