By utilizing visual tools and dynamics proposed by SEECON, the partners collectivelly mapped out the business landscape for each project result, laying the groundwork for future implementation and management.
The subsequent two days were devoted to track project progress, coordinating efforts, and leveraging synergies among the three case studies of the project: Santiago de Compostela (Spain), Aarhus (Denmark) and Amman (Jordan). Several focused workshops delved into the latests project results, facilitating discussions on future steps and potential collaborations.
Moreover, all the partners joined for a visit to the project pilots being constructed in Santiago. This experience allowed the participants to witness the impact of the project, observe the design solutions, and understand the adaptations being made to suit the local context.
The General Assembly extended beyond the core partnership, with the third session of the Local Co-Creation Committee taking place on November 15th. This session, facilitated by SEECON with the participation of several partners, welcomed external stakeholders, providing a valuable opportunity to share insights, receive feedback, and refine the project's trajectory based on real-world experiences.
