After a long break due to the pandemic, the partners of project ADULATION met for the first time in person in Nicosia, Cyprus; the meeting took place on 2 December 2021 as an hybrid event: Italy and Hungary participated in the face to face meeting while Alphabet Formation ABF – Belgium joined the meeting virtually using a video conferencing tool. 

Firstly, the partners focused on the “ADULATION Handbook- Managing active citizenship initiatives with adult and senior coordinators and volunteers” with the aim of finalizing it. The team shared few comments and recommendations, thus signed off on this intellectual output.

After that, they checked the progress of another intellectual output: “ADULATION Training Toolkit- Enhancing citizenship of adult and senior learners” in order to review it, before its finalization. Some important decisions were taken by the partners concerning the finalization of the Training Toolkit: all the suggestions and the feedback collected will be implemented in the next weeks.

Finally, the project consortium brainstormed on the first steps of the “ADULATION Toolkit for Successful Online Campaigns and Petitions”, which will enable adult educators understand social media and provide them with tools and procedures to run successful online campaigns on issues that affect the adult learners and the societies they live in.

All the partners shared their comments and tips regarding the tools and procedures required to run successful online campaigns; Training2000 will be in charge, in the next weeks, for the definition of the toolkit’s framework.

The meeting was very interesting and productive: the next project activities to be implemented were defined and will be announced in the near future.
