Between 27th and 28th of May e-RR partnership carried out 4th project meeting in Roubaix in France. Our host organisation was ADICE. Partners devoted most of the time to review of the platform which is just about to be publicly launched. Other meeting topics were oriented in planning the project activities by the end of the project.

The aim of the project and platform is also creation of networks of experts and institutions who work in the field of Roma inclusion. Most of the project activities by the end of the year will be focused on exploitation and dissemination of the platform, especially materials and existing projects. We want to encourage professionals to use the materials at their daily use and also to encourage them to their own materials, projects and examples of good practices on the platform.

Testing period after public launch of the platform will be opportunity for evaluation of the platform by different stakeholders and beneficiaries of the project.

Form 18th until 20th of February e-RR partners met on the third project meeting in Krakow. Hosting institution was Union of associations Multikultura from Poland. Main part of the meeting was intended for assessment and evaluation of the e-RR platform. Proposal of structure and the content was already set in first year of the project. Findings from the State of the art and needs assessment survey and Transnational report confirmed that we are on the right way. From the beginning of this year project partners started to upload content and materials to the platform. On the project meeting they presented their first observations and suggestions for changes and additions to the existing solutions.

Part of the project meeting was of course also the revision of the work done in each packages and planning of the further activities. Partners gave special emphasis of the dissemination activities and quality assurance of the project.
