Workshops

The mutual learning of the partners will be structured around five two-day workshops. In each workshop, the host participant will prepare a short brief on their national picture and partners will contribute to discussions on the specific topic drawing on evidence from their own national context. Subsequent to the workshops, each partner will contribute a short paper on the impact or relevance of the content of the workshop for their national context and these will be drawn together by the workshop host with contextualising information on the topic of the workshop.
