• Participants will actively contribute to the collection of good practices, tools, and strategies relevant to their home organisations.
• Participate in structured partner-finding sessions, networking activities and thematic workshops to identify shared interests and possible future collaborations.
• Create action-plans or ideas for future Erasmus+ project proposals focused on adult learners with disabilities and inclusion.
