LTTA

VolinAct LTT Activity Happened in Foligno, Italy

Lares Italia was glad to host the LTTA in their heart quarter in Foligno between 30th June and 2nd of July 2022.

After a welcome speech from President Danilo Calabrese our Group Lead Sofia Psarrou organized feedback from the modules. Each partner wrote notes about their expectations from the training. 

The partners present at the meeting were asked to prepare a small presentation on the module that they developed in the previous months, so during the 1st and 2nd working day each organization got the chance to present it to the other partners and discuss feedback and comments.

The last morning of work was dedicated to the online questionnaire sent to the participants to fill in online, conclusions and evaluation of the piloting. 


Additionally, the agenda included workshops and cultural activities, like the visit to the Civil Protection Interregional coordination center in Foligno, Assisi, Spoleto & Montefalco, so everyone got the opportunity to know each other better and exchange thoughts, ideas and suggestions.
