In the last month, from June 26th to June 30th, 2023, project partners gathered in Graz, Austria, for a short-term staff training (C1). At least two partners from each organization participated, representing the partner countries, namely Poland, Slovenia, Croatia and Greece. The meeting served as a dynamic platform where young individuals could unleash their potential, acquire new skills, and address the challenges related to e-course creation.
During this time, participants had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge on the topic of energy literacy and share expertise in specific areas they had been working on. These programs emphasized both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, enabling participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of the analyzed field. The exchange of experiences allowed for the teaching of new technical and soft skills to one another. Moreover, the time was utilized for reflection on the work done so far and to discuss the next steps of the entire training process, ensuring unity and the quality of the work that lies ahead.
Partners also began working on the development of micro-trainings within the genial.ly platform, which will be tested with young adults (aged 19-29) during the C2 training in Zagreb, Croatia in autumn 2023. However, it wasn't all work and no play. Thanks to the hospitality of Levilo, the host from Austria, partners also had the opportunity to engage in cultural events such as a city tour, a visit to a Van Gogh exhibition, and shared dinners featuring local cuisine.
The event proved to be crucial for the project workflow, providing all partners with answers to questions related to the platform and the preparation of training content. It fostered collaboration and the acquisition of new skills, making it a great opportunity for growth and development
