The second transnational partner meeting in the BEGIN project was planned for May 2020. Due to the corona pandemic, the meeting had to be cancelled at short notice. The consortium worked together completely online for 1.5 years.

All the more, we were looking forward to catching up with the partner meeting in Rome in September 2021. Our project partner LUISS gave us a warm welcome. 11 representatives from all six partner organisations attended the partner meeting.

It was very important for the BEGIN project to meet f2f again after a long online phase. We worked together intensively: The status of all three project products (BEGIN Toolbox for career exploration activities, BEGIN practical methodology for joint Business-Education Initiatives, BEGIN training courses for Soft Skills & Personal Development) were discussed in detail, work and time schedules were adjusted and feedback on the content of the project products was discussed in the team. In addition, topics such as project and financial management, dissemination activities and sustainability of the project were discussed.

The next transnational partner meeting will take place in Barcelos, Portugal, in May 2022.
