Today we had our first group meeting with Ms. Ariëns. Desislava could not attend the meeting. She let us know about that earlier.
Ms. Ariëns discussed with us our plan of action and approved it. She advised us to arrange our group meetings every week at the same day and time. She stressed how important good time management is during the Europe Calling Project. She also let us know that in order to be the best we have to be a group and we have to give maximum effort to form a unified group. That means that we should all attend every meeting, work together and stay in constant touch. It is very important to show that we are all involved in the project.
Furthermore, she advised us to try other ways of connecting with each other then e-mails. She told us that phone calls are much more efficient while we are working on the project. She gave us the tip to check out www.twigger.com for convenient communication.
We agreed that the group will decide the day and time of weekly group meetings and we will inform Ms. Ariëns, so that she will try to attend them as well.

After the meeting with Ms. Ariëns we met with the group. We all agreed that last week was very busy because of exams and we will all concentrate on our individual researches next week, in which we have no lectures.
Liga, Marloes and Miriam sent their introductions to Joseph.
We called Desislava and we decided that next meetings will take place on Thursdays at 2pm. Though this may change, because we don't know our timetables yet.
During the next meeting we are going to our found and selected information with each other. We can also give each other advice and help with the work if someone might have difficulties.
