The Erasmus+ KA2 project Sun in the Age, focused on implementing REMIND practices—Relaxation, Meditation, and Mindfulness—to enhance the psycho-physical wellness of educators and social workers and improve the quality of life for older adults, held its final Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) on November 20–21, 2024, in Leipzig, Germany. Hosted by Wisamar, the German partner, the meeting marked the culmination of a successful collaboration among European partners, including p-consulting.gr from Greece.
