Digital transnational project meetings (TPM)

Due to the Corona pandemic, we have unfortunately not been able to meet in person at transnational meetings as planned. Since the start of the project in November 2020, we have arranged monthly digital meetings in order to exchange technical information and to learn about good examples from practice.

For this purpose, we have invited external experts from science and practice who have reported to us on their work in the topic area of "Health promotion and prevention in disadvantaged families".

The experts so far were:

Ann-Christin Solas and Katerina Nanou, Save the Children

Ms Solas and Ms Nanou introduced us to the work of the international organisation Save the Children and their research on the impact of Covid-19 on children in Europe.
