Steering Committee & Consortial Meeting - Live, in color - and in person!

After six months of joint "online work", the time had finally come on September 20 and 21, 2021: The Steering Committee, i.e. the work package leaders, met live in Berlin for the first time in this constellation. 

During the two days in Berlin, work continued on the current status of work, topics were discussed in depth, and future processes were jointly designed.

For the consortial meeting, which took place in the afternoon of the first working day public authorities - project partners from education policy and administration - were connected online. In this first joint meeting there was on the one hand reporting on the already achieved project results and on the other hand the more in-depth discussion of the three project clusters: Cluster Policy Building, Cluster Education and Cluster Evaluation. 

Teacher trainings taking flight: First piloting field trials 

On the second day, all partners present in Berlin had the opportunity to participate in the Piloting Field Trial, i.e. a first trial run of the teacher training on AI and Data Literacy. This was particularly interesting, as it gave the evaluating unit (University of Potsdam) and the project partners developing the policy recoemmendations (OCG) insight into the actual process. For the Lithuanian colleagues from Vilnius University it was exciting as well, as they were able to see the materials "in action" for the first time and were also able to gather inspiration for their own implementation in the third interation of the project - developing training and materials for primary school teachers.

It were two successful days that showed the consortium has done a good job so far and is well prepared to continue its' work on TrainDL.
