On April 3rd-4th, 2023 the consortium met in Brussels to hold the Transnational Project Meeting, organised by Ecepaa.
On the first working day, the participants have been discussing the project results:
- YOUCAN Best Practices Publication: to identify best practices coming from projects that have focused on the importance of cross-sectoral cooperation to address youth with migrant dropout from school.
- YOUCAN Toolkit: the toolkit will train members of the participating organisations in increasing the quality in the preparation, implementation, monitoring and follow-up of EU/international projects and increased capacity and professionalism to work at EU/international level by better knowing the project cycle management.
Moreover, they have been discussed the results and evaluated the last O2O “Organisation to Organisation” training, while preparing the next one that will be happening in May in Spain, hosted by Camara de Cáceres.
On the second working day, the participants have visited:
- The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Brussels: The Belgian-Italian Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit association founded in 1950 to foster contacts between Belgium and Italy. It is located in the center of Brussels near the European Institutions. The Belgian-Italian Chamber of Commerce is the point of reference par excellence for any company willing to promote its own business and widen its network in Italy and in Belgium. The Chamber indeed offers a wide range of promotional services, assistance and consultancy, which represents an advantage for its members.
- The Parlamentarium: is the visitors’ centre of the European Parliament and is located in the Parliament’s Espace Léopold complex in Brussels. The permanent exhibition contains hundreds of multimedia components, explaining the European Parliament and other European Union institutions.
