To enrich the experience, attendees visited the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, gaining cultural insights and fostering team bonding.

The second day shifted focus to project management, addressing critical aspects such as reporting and financial issues. Attendees engaged in meticulous planning of upcoming activities, aligning their strategies to ensure smooth execution. Dissemination of project outcomes and information was also a key topic, highlighting the importance of sharing progress and results with broader audiences. An interactive simulation of practical activities was conducted, allowing participants to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. This hands-on approach not only reinforced learning but also encouraged collaboration and problem-solving among the meeting partners.
