At the beginning of September 2022, we met for the fourth time as part of the transnational project meeting (TPM) of the SoMoveED project. It was the third offline meeting because we had to organize the first online due to the pandemic.
The main aim of the meeting was to continue work on the outputs and monitoring the performance of tasks: (a) task monitoring according to the schedule O5-done; O1, O3, O4 last corrections and now working on O2 and O6; b) discussing problems; c) arrangements for following stages of project implementation; d) discussing the preliminary results of the project; e) continuing work on the structure and content of MOOC (O6);
We also had other goals, such as integrating and motivating project team members. We also wanted to use the intellectual potential of the team and the possibility of working with each other in direct contact. After seeing each other on the screens of the computers, we wanted to meet. We also planned to discuss Multiplier Events.
