The Kick-off meeting took place in Limassol, Cyprus on the 1^st December 2023. The Kick-off meeting was organized by Frederick University Cyprus and held at the Limassol Campus of Frederick University.

The meeting took place in Matera, Italy on the 12^th - 13^th June 2024. The meeting was organized by Materahub Italy and was held at the Materahub offices. Partners discussed the development of the Microcredential courses to be produced through the project, reflected on the work delivered so far and planned all next steps.

When in Matera, the FuturesDesignED partnership had the chance to visit the urban Community Garden, which was awarded the NEBprize 'Rising Stars' - Reconnecting with nature' in 2023. 

There they also met ANDRECO, an Italian artist sensitizing about climate change through art, thanks to his Climate Art Project.

With his colleagues and local inhabitants, he was building an 'AulaVerde', an open-air classroom which perfectly matches the concept of 'Alternative Space Of Learning' encouraged by our project, 'Futures Design Education'.

This was also a chance to meet the curators of this participatory design process: Marea Art Project, who confirmed the crucial role of the arts and spatial design in bringing people closer to nature. This was also a tangible example of Multi Level Engagement (one of the pillars of the New European Bauhaus), as this space of learning was funded by Matera 2019 and made possible by an active citizenship initiative.

The meeting took place in Athens, Greece on the 16^th October 2024. The meeting was organized by Artit Greece and was held at the Artit offices. Partners discussed the final stages of the micro credential courses, the transfer to the E-Learning platform and Educational Toolkit to be produced through the project. Additionally, partners reflected on the work delivered so far and planned all next steps.

On 18-19 March 2025, project partners gathered at Kauno kolegija in Kaunas, Lithuania, for a very productive face to face project meeting. Over two days, partners engaged in meaningful discussions, exchanged insights and made significant progress in shaping the future of the project.

The meeting focused on quality solutions, including the development of our e-learning platform and training toolkit, assessed the necessary improvements, ensuring that platform meets the highest quality standards for learners. Partners also reviewed the results of pilot courses and workshops, as well as feedback from participants. During the meeting, we discussed the consolidated reports of the pilot courses and workshops and their value in the final project report.

An important part of our agenda was the planning of educator training, where we strategised on effective approaches to provide teachers and trainers with the tools and knowledge needed for innovative learning. The meeting was also an opportunity to finalise the dates and programme for the Brussels closing event - an important milestone in our journey.

This meeting in Kaunas was a great opportunity to strengthen cooperation, exchange ideas and take important steps towards the successful completion of our project. Many thanks to all partners for their dedication, enthusiasm and valuable contributions. Together we continue to build an innovative and impactful project that will leave a lasting impression!
