Kick Off Meeting in UK
The Kick Off Meeting for the Erasmus+ funded two-year project Media Literacy for Refugee, Asylum Seeking and Migrant Women took place at the University of Gloucestershire December 4/5 2017. Partners from 6 countries, Italy, Malta, Greece, Ireland, Austria and the UK met and swapped ideas about how to implement our project. As a consortium of NGOs, academics and education experts, it was an exciting and positive meeting. And we all brought ‘Euro snacks’ to help the meeting go even better.
