Dates: 1-5 July 2022

Host organisation: MOH (Italy)

Participants: Animus Foundation (Bulgaria), University of Atypical (Northern Ireland), ELAN (France), SMouTh (Greece)

From the 1st to the 5th of July we had the Joint Staff Training and TPM of the KA2 project Body Shining in Bari. The main objective of the training was to create a common theoretical and methodological basis for all partners to lead the next outputs successfully.

During this training, all the partners had the chance to:
• Learn from each other methods: Atypical has transferred the basis of a methodology to work with art and disabled people, SMouTh the basis to run art-based workshops, Elan how to work with intercultural backgrounded groups, Animus how to work with body shaming, MOH how to promote, marketing, disseminate a project successfully.
•Work together on the development of blended approaches combining elements of the different methods for the outputs.

We have had the chance to test the art-based workshops of the IO2 and have useful inputs from the IO2 leader, SMouTh, for the videos we will create in the next months.

5 full days of sharing thoughts, ideas, knowledge, and passion and creating a strong bond among all the partners.
