COWLECTIVE: 1st TRANSNATIONAL PARTNER MEETING IN VALENCIA

On October 28th and 29th, we had the Transnational Partner Meeting in Valencia. It was the first time that the partners saw each other in person, due to the COVID-19 situation.

Although the online meetings have allowed the Project to continue at a good pace, having been able to work for two days in person, has been highly effective, both to strengthen the partnership and to move forward with the project and setting the next steps to follow.

Our colleagues from DIAS, a VET school in Greece, were not able to accompany us in person, but they were able to connect online to the meeting and follow it without problems.

During the first day, we reviewed the project in a general way, and we focused on analyzing the situation of the first project result – what we call Intellectual Output 1 (IO1) -, a Mobile report that collects the results of the research study carried out during the first months of the project, related to entrepreneurship and the necessary skills to become a good social entrepreneur; and the second result – Intellectual Output 2 (IO2) -, which consists of the development of training modules related to the most important skills identified in IO1. DIAS presented us with the guidelines for content development.

During the second day of the meeting, we focused on administrative matters, such as management and quality, and reviewed the status of dissemination (feel free to follow us through our social networks!). Finally, we did a bit of brainstorming around the third result of our Project (IO3), which consists of the development of a learning method for teaching trainees to implement business practices with a social impact.

With this, we ended our workday and gave time to visit the beautiful city of Valencia. We will meet again in Turin, on March 1st and 2nd of next year.
