Video testimonials from successful athletes added a personal touch, sharing experiences that inspired and motivated attendees.

Day Two: Transnational project meeting

On the second day, partners focused on ensuring the long-term sustainability of the TALENT Project. Discussions centered on feedback from participants, follow-up activities, and the roles of consortium partners in maintaining the project’s momentum until its conclusion in May 2025. Key topics included reviewing project achievements, planning communication and dissemination strategies, and assigning tasks to ensure a smooth final reporting process to the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
