Develoment meetings

Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL) is the coordinating partner, and is in charge of the project progress, conducting digital meetings between the physical meeting points, and managing the economy and administration of the project.

The University of Stavanger (UiS) has been leading a series of workshops for developing the resources. The second development meeting was in Ireland in April 2024. The project group visited JWC geopark, and had a workshop based on the input from teachers and students through a survey developed for WP 2.

The fourth and final development meeting was held in Italy in April 2025. Here the working groups presented the ideas and resources that had been produced thus far and made plans for producing what remains. The group also made plans for trying out the resources with schools the coming year, and for the final dissemination meeting, which is planned to be in Norway in September 2026.
