Partners were able to meet the partner organizations, participate in practical workshops, present the development of CoVEs, discuss the results obtained so far and what the next steps are. They were still able to meet in person to present the development of each work package.

The next day, the partners got to visit FH JOANNEUM and be welcomed by the Project Coordinator, Bojan Jovanovski, Doris Kiendl and Vitor Ferreira. In a debate led by Susanne Nielsen, from the European Training Foundation, we talked about the philosophy of CoVEs and the urgent need to change mindsets and be present on the green transition revolution.
Also, the International Committee meeting took place to evaluate the progress of the CoVEs in Skopje, Vaasa and Leiria, regarding the faced challenges, activities and expectations of the International Platform.
