The second transnational meeting was held from 26th to 31st October 2022 in Frankfurt, Germany. This meeting provided an opportunity for the project partners to revise the progress that had been achieved up to that point. The focus was on the key knowledge areas of scope, schedule, costs, and quality, with the aim of improving the risk management aspect of the project and ensuring that everything was being carried out as planned.
The meeting also allowed the partners to share lessons learned from each prior stage of the project. This sharing of knowledge and experience created a perspective on best practices, differences in challenges, and capacities to build on. Each partner was able to share new learning on dealing with youth inclusion and empowerment, making the meeting a valuable learning experience for everyone involved.
One of the main outcomes of the meeting was a clear understanding of each project period and a review of the success rate of project activities in line with the baseline. This helped the project partners to establish future work and ensure that the project stayed on track. The meeting also resulted in shared practices, analyzed impacts, and mutual learning, all of which will be beneficial for future activities.
The transnational meetings play a vital role by providing a joint structure for monitoring and controlling the project. By analyzing the outputs, feedback, and impacts from each project activity, the partners can maintain control over the knowledge areas and minimize risks.
Overall, the second transnational meeting of the Laboure HotSpot project was a success. It provided an opportunity for the project partners to review progress, share knowledge and experience, and establish future work. By continuing to hold these meetings throughout the project, the partners can ensure that the project stays on track and that people are included in activities across different countries.
