Day 1: Strategic Discussions and Cultural Experiences
Welcome and Introduction
The meeting began on July 17th with a registration and welcome session led by ŽISPB and Polygonal partners. This initial session set the tone for the productive discussions that followed.
Project Overview and Objectives
Following the welcome, the first agenda item was an overview of Deliverable’s 4 (WP4) objectives, meaning the Mindfulness Workshops for older adults, and the general impacts of the project. This session was crucial for aligning all partners on the project’s direction and ensuring that everyone was up to date with the latest developments.
Workshops and Assessments
During the following session, partners focused on the first activity for this deliverable, discussing how to design the workshop plan and the assessment questionnaires for the participants. This interactive session allowed for an exchange of ideas on how to effectively measure and report the impact of the workshops.
Afternoon Sessions
After a lunch break provided by Polygonal, the meeting resumed with further discussions. The afternoon sessions were dedicated to refining the workshop plans and ensuring that all logistical and content-related details were addressed.
