In March 2024, the FEAT-DS project team gathered in Riga for a crucial consortium meeting. This gathering marked a significant milestone in our journey to revolutionize electronics education for adults with Down syndrome.
Our international team, representing partners from Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Bulgaria, and Italy, came together with a shared purpose: to refine our approach and set a clear path forward. The meeting was a hub of productive discussions, strategic planning, and collaborative decision-making.
Key Outcomes:
1. Vision Alignment: We reaffirmed our commitment to creating an inclusive, engaging, and effective learning environment for adults with Down syndrome in the field of electronics.
2. Task Division: Each partner’s role was clearly defined, ensuring that we leverage our diverse expertise to its fullest potential.
3. Implementation Timeline: We established concrete deadlines for various project phases, keeping us on track to deliver impactful results.
4. Paperwork Finalization: Essential administrative tasks were completed, setting a solid foundation for smooth project execution.
One of the meeting’s highlights was the production of our project promotional video. This visual representation of FEAT-DS encapsulates our mission, showcasing the potential of our innovative approach to adult education and lifelong learning.
