From November 25–27, 2025, our Development Director, Olga Zvereva, traveled to Abbeville, France, for the first Transnational Project Meeting of the Erasmus+ “InternshipConnect” project (No. 2025-1-FR01-KA220-VET-0003514111).

Hosted by the project coordinator, Mission Locale Picardie Maritime, this meeting brought together partners, La Mission Locale Picardie Maritime (France), Le Cube Consultants (France), Ballymun Job Centre (Ireland), Območna obrtno-podjetniška zbornica Kranj (Slovenia), AMC (Portugal), and Italian Hospitality School SRL (Italy), to align on our shared mission: bridging the gap between education and the professional world.

During the session, we strategized on four key work packages:

• WP1: Project Management
• WP2: Creating innovative bridging devices for professional immersions
• WP3: Installing experimental support hubs across transnational ecosystems
• WP4: Communication, dissemination, and capitalization

A huge thank you to Nicolas Radler and the management team at Mission Locale Picardie Maritime for their warm hospitality and excellent coordination! Together, we are making professional immersions more accessible and impactful.
