Takes place in project
The project had its kick-off meeting in Kaunas, Lithuania in the beginning of February and now intellectual outputs such as creating the pedagogical framework for teaching diversity and global citizenship as well as the course creation are works in progress. Theme interviews with experts of global citizenship and diversity will be conducted with representatives from educational institutions, companies as well as from non-governmental organizations. Meeting face-to-face for the first time elevated every participant's spirits and enabled good discussions on intellectual outputs as well as what the project wants to achieve.
Interim meeting took place in beautiful Iasi in Romania in October 2023. Interesting results on work conducted on Intellectual Output 1 were shared and the pilot version of the course was shown to project partners. In addition all partners had a chance to experience the delights of Iasi on a guided walking tour.
