Defining Tasks & Responsibilities
During the meeting, the roles and responsibilities of each partner were defined in detail. Clear delegation of tasks is essential to maintain efficiency and ensure that all project milestones are achieved on time. -
Setting Goals & Deadlines for Activities 1, 2, and 3
A critical part of the discussions focused on the specific goals for each of the first three activities. These goals are directly tied to the project’s objectives, which include enhancing educator preparation, fostering student engagement, and encouraging cross-curricular connections on climate-related topics. Deadlines were set to keep the project on track, ensuring that each phase is completed in a timely manner. -
Financial Management
Proper financial management is key to the success of any Erasmus+ project, and Green Horizons is no exception. The meeting covered the budgeting and financial planning needed to keep the project on solid ground throughout its duration. -
Dissemination & Quality Management
Dissemination and quality control are vital components of the project’s framework. Ensuring that the project’s outcomes reach a broad audience is just as important as maintaining high-quality standards in the deliverables. The meeting addressed strategies for effective dissemination and set guidelines for quality assurance at every stage of the project.
Looking Ahead: Empowering Educators and Students
Green Horizons is more than just a project; it’s a call to action for educators and students to take an active role in combating climate change.
