International conference CHALLENGES IN BUILDING CHILD FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES was held from
10th 12th October 2014 in Zadar (Croatia). At the end of the conference participants were given an
evaluation questionnaire in which they were suppose to express their opinion about the conference
through questions. Evaluation sheets were filled in and submitted by 52 participants of the
conference in total.
The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the degree of satisfaction of the participants of the
Conference, as well as gain insight into the issues of organizational work. We wanted to know
whether we can offer something new and different for the participants in the future or to correct and
improve our work.
