Visit to Lithuania

Painfully as it was, we had to cancel our plane tickets to the meeting in London! So, the partners did it without the coordinators! And they did it well!!
But we still had to work on the project, to see what was done their, to plan the end of the first year. That's why we decided to travel to Kristina, in Vilnius.
It was a nice journey, and we had some very good days. We almost felt like we were in London, thanks to the talks with Kristina. We also had the opportunity to visit Viltis Special Education Centre, where we could see live the IC&T tools presented by the Lithuanians in London just theoreticaly. It was a very interesting experience and we are sure it will have consequences in the future.
But that was not all! Kristina also took us to a shop where a centre for disabled people was presenting/ selling the products made by their beneficiaries! For our occupational therapy activities, this was a very good example to follow!
To make a long story short, we still regret that we couldn't attend the meeting in London, but we are gald we were in Vilnius!

Potenza Project Meeting

We were looking forward to meet each-other again. And to know the Italian and UK partners, who couldn't attend the meeting in Baia Mare.
After long and tiring trips, here we were on the hills of Potenza! So, we started with introducing ourselves again, and than we were on our IT&C talks.
Each partner came with its experience and the research work he did, and with the good ideas they found.And, as I was expecting, the big differences among the partners and their work was perfectly reflected in the significant differences shown in the materials preared for the project.



Again, everybody was happy to be in this project. we established the further steps for it, but also we started the first talks for future common projects and cooperation.

Paul started already to prepare the next meeting, in London. We established together the dates, and he informed us about the possibilities there. So, when we left, we had again something to look forward to...
