Our project meeting in Ireland

Our Erasmus+ project “Capito! Compris! Understood! Verstanden!” is in full swing. Recently we had another meeting with our partner organisations. This time our destination was beautiful Ireland. But it was also possible to participate in the meeting virtually.

What is the project about?

For all those who don’t know our project “Capito! Compris! Understood! Verstanden!”: here is a short overview. The goal of the EU project is to research easy-to-read language. We do this with partner organizations from all over Europe. Based on the findings of the joint research, we will create guidelines and tools for adult education.

What did we do in Ireland?

First of all, we were able to get to know our new partner organisation FIADDA Roma better. The team from Rome has been supporting us in the project for a few months now. We are very happy about this successful cooperation.

The next item on the agenda was getting to know our guest of honour, Paul Alford. He works as a self-advocate at Inclusion Ireland. He gave us some insights into his job and his view on our project. He also gave us very useful tips for our guidelines and tools.

After that, we worked on the content of our project results. We worked in different groups and presented our ideas and drafts to each other.

The last point on our agenda was about the dissemination of our project results. For this purpose, we planned different multiplier events. These events will take place next year in February and March. We will share more details about them soon.

During our visit, we did not only work together, but we also got to know the Irish culture better. At a joint dinner in a traditional restaurant, we could enjoy delicious Irish food.
