Transnational meetings

Kickoff – First Transnational Meeting Madrid, April 2022

GreenCo is a KA220 – VET Cooperation partnership funded by SEPIE, operating from 01/02/2022 to 01/12/2024 with a budget of €280,700. The project began upon agency signature, with expenses eligible throughout. Comunidad de Madrid (CFTIC) initiates funding with 40% to partners, excluding professional translation costs, necessitating alternative methods. Evaluations occur mid-2023 and late 2024, overseen by CFTIC with coordinated partner input. Documentation must be organized for accessibility during assessments.

A Steering Committee, one rep per organization, holds virtual meetings to monitor financial and project progress. Christina (ESI) mandates e-book criteria, highlighting design, links, and adaptation for target groups, agreed in PDF and epub formats. Accessibility concerns prompt translation tool considerations. ESI introduces a template; discussions in April 2022 set book structure. UAH details Project Results 2 and 3 budgets and app development timelines, with student involvement pending.

ITS outlines Project Result 4 (Multilingual MOOC Training), managed by professors and emphasizing content development and translation oversight. A pilot MOOC is planned, with a meeting in November 2022. CFTIC manages social media dissemination, focusing on youth platforms, opting for existing accounts over new profiles. Domain acquisition and website creation are prioritized for project visibility.

Second Transnational Meeting Milano, November 2022

In a meeting that commenced promptly at 10:00, ITS INCOM welcomed participants, followed by CFTIC who outlined the day’s agenda. Bulgary detailed the GreenCo e-book’s final version timeline, highlighting its objectives and accomplishments from April to November 2022. Each partner summarized their chapter’s milestones, with CMQ suggesting additional content on pollution, later proposed for social media snippets by Bulgary.

ITSINCOM stressed student involvement for future project results, echoed by Bulgary´s plan for infographics and articles. UAH suggested a video for dissemination, while CMQ recommended Amazon Books for the e-book’s distribution. CFTIC reviewed the Quality Plan’s draft, integrating partner feedback and preparing for final validation. Financial discussions covered interim reporting requirements and repository issues, prompting a move to Google Drive.

CFTIC presented the dissemination plan, advocating for standardized templates and website improvements. Updates on the English site’s functionality were discussed, alongside regular news updates. CMQ introduced the initial dissemination draft, with a focus on flexible communication channels rather than specific metrics. The meeting concluded with plans for monthly online sessions and preparation for the next meeting hosted by CMQ Numérique in Valénce, likely post-summer.

Progress on Project Result 2 was detailed by CFTIC, with UAH contributing insights on app development software options. The preference leaned towards HTML5-based formats, ensuring accessibility and multilingual support. Various game engine platforms were considered for the app’s interactive elements, addressing gameplay quality and accessibility concerns. Future plans included scenario development and user interaction strategies, aiming for comprehensive game plot documentation by the next virtual session.

In the recent Administration and Finances update, partners reviewed the National Agency’s interim report recommendations, preparing for upcoming sessions. CRN confirmed receipt of second payment funds, set for distribution by month-end, while efforts to broaden participation in the e-book quality survey were emphasized with forthcoming multilingual links via email. The Project and Product Quality segment underscored achieving milestones crucial for grant retention, emphasizing inclusivity and sustainability across outputs like the e-book and mockup. SEPIE’s directive for GreenCo project visibility on partner websites was noted, alongside plans to enhance PR2 details online.

UAH proposed a coordinated effort among PR leaders to gather data for the final report, streamlining with templates and deadlines. Integration of Erasmus co-financing logos and EUSurveys for quality assessment was prioritized, aligning with ITSINCOM suggestion to track SEPIE’s recommendations systematically. UAH provided updates on PR3, nearing beta testing for their app with ongoing translations and accessibility checks, aiming for external feedback and an open beta launch by January 2024.

ITSINCOM introduced PR4, outlining a MOOC centered on PR1 themes, structured into three Instructional Units (IUs) with segmented learning steps. CMQ proposed expanding topics while maintaining concise IUs for a targeted, interactive learning approach, to be refined in upcoming meetings. CMQ’s proposal for a dissemination campaign led by Logia aimed to enhance project visibility and website attractiveness, with specific goals set for PR1 e-book downloads and PR3 testing phases. The next transnational meeting is scheduled for April 2024 in Bulgaria, emphasizing effective communication practices among partners.
