On 07 July 2021 River//Cities Foundation hosted from Gdansk – on digital platform our last transnational (TM5) event which is closing our I_Improve project’s chapter.

 

The meeting in Gdansk was focused on impact, dissemination and use of the project results. All the partners talked about the highlights of our activities over the project, rounded up the results and checked to what extent our tasks have been completed.

 

Even though each of us have learnt and followed each other’s progress, it was very interesting to hear the summaries of partner’s projects, see snapshots and short films documenting each other’s work, and to learn about partner’s early successes of dissemination.

 

It was also very evident that all of us are really proud of what was achieved during this difficult and lengthy project, especially that during its course many of us had to transition from working in what we knew as a norm to a digital platform (because of the pandemic). .

 

We also shared our feelings on the project, on the whole learning process, talked about the highs and lows, and most importantly about the feeling which most of us share, that even though the project is officially finishing, it is just the beginning for our projects outcomes – to be shared with others, showcased, duplicated, enjoyed.

 

One of the outcomes of the project was a creation of the game which reflects different aspects of methodologies developed and produced by partners.
