On 20 February 2025 and 25 February 2025, two online coordination meetings were held between the project consortium and Kastamonu University to discuss the distribution of responsibilities and the development of the project’s training modules.
The meetings focused on defining the roles and responsibilities of each project partner, reviewing the work package structure, and establishing a common understanding of the project’s educational framework. Particular attention was given to the preparation of training modules, training kits, and digital learning materials related to Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for combating desertification and land degradation.
Participants discussed the target groups of the training programme, the structure and content of the educational modules, certification approaches, and the development of the project’s digital learning platform (LMS). The consortium also addressed the preparation of communication activities, stakeholder engagement strategies, and the project website, ensuring that all dissemination activities would be aligned with the project’s objectives.
During the meetings, partners agreed on the next steps for drafting the training modules, preparing educational materials, finalising the communication plan, and developing the project’s online infrastructure. The discussions strengthened cooperation among partners and established a clear roadmap for the implementation of the project’s educational activities.
The meetings concluded with a shared commitment to maintaining close collaboration and ensuring the timely delivery of project outputs in accordance with the project work plan.
