Our 3rd project meeting took us back in Athens, as our kick-off meeting, one year ago. Another opportunity to get away from online meetings and cameras and to really focus and spend some quality time together, working on our project priorities. We met again close to the sea, at the same venue as last year, with more or less the same people in attendance. All our project partners were there, including teachers from the participating schools.

We kicked off day 1 with a short session on our project management topics (WP1) focusing on the quality assurance of our deliverables. Next in line was the discussion about our pilots (WP4) and more specifically about the training workshop that was planned for day 2 of our Athens meeting.

Following up from WP4, we focused on our dissemination activities and we analyzed our progress so far, doubling down on the plan for the upcoming months especially having more mature project outcomes. After a small break, we discussed the work of WP2, focusing more on our learning scenarios and the ongoing work there.

For the closing of day 1, we saw and discussed on the final version (release) of our metaverse platform and environments. We provided some last-minute feedback to our partners from AETMA Lab, and closed the day.

For day 2, we were welcomed to Avgoulea-Linardatos schools, in Peristeri. Our esteemed project partner opened their computer laboratory for us where we had the opportunity to work with the teachers of our project, see their scenarios in action, via our metaverse environments, and train them on how they can make the best use of the tools that the project has created, to deliver their scenarios to their pupils.

Day 2 was a hands-on day for all of us, having the chance to experience the outcomes of the project in action, allowing us to comprehend and appreciate the value that these outcomes bring to civic education in general.

Till next time!
