A first coordination and transnational meeting was organized in Lille to launch the project with the whole consortium of partners. NGOs and Higher Education partners immerse themselves in operational planning of activities, Erasmus+ rules through presentations and role play. A focus was also made on communication and the first mobility in Antwerp, to be foreseen in March 2020.

A second transnational coordination meeting was organized in Antwerp, Belgium, to launch the project with the entire consortium of partners. This second transnational meeting made it possible to monitor activities, test the Moodle platform put in place, but above all make progress on the organization of the student mobility initially planned in Antwerp in March 2020 (then moved following the Covid19 crisis). The schedule was discussed at length, as well as the terms of reference for the serious game, both for the students and for the final jury. Sessions on communication and on the administrative management of the project, as well as a niche dedicated to the exchange of practices, have also been integrated in order to ensure both monitoring and synergies between partners.

A few days before the flagship event of our project, student mobility in Antwerp, the event had to be postponed to a later date. Mobility will finally be implemented virtually, in March 2021.

On October 15, during the EsamusDays 2020, Le Partenariat team from Lille cooperated with the Kurioz team from Poitiers and presented a webinar on ‘serious games’ in which special attention was paid to our ‘Citizen Games’ project.
Our Haarlem Partner, Stedenband Haarlem-Mutare, also organised a similar event on this day. An English version of this video-workshop is available at https://vimeo.com/478908132

This third transnational meeting made it possible to work on the adaptation of the content and the agenda of student mobility, initially scheduled for March 2020, and canceled due to the health crisis. The dates for virtual mobility have been partially fixed, included in several sessions in the month of March. The meeting also made it possible to focus on communication activities and test the new virtual platforms to be used during student mobility. A member of each partner organization was able to participate in this meeting. As the meeting was held virtually, the report of this activity is proof of the presence of members.

On the 11th June 2021, Derek O Reilly and Michael Connolly gave a presentation at their school’s annual “School Sharing Teaching and Learning Practice” event. This event is a platform for sharing best practice between colleagues within DkIT’s School of Informatics & Creative Arts. The presentation provided an insight into the week-long e-Mobility that took place from 15th to 20th March 2021. The Mozilla Hubs and Discord software platforms that were used to deliver the e-Mobility were explained. The staff and students’ experience from taking part in the e-Mobility were described.
