On 9 December, our project partners gathered online for the last coordination meeting of 2025 to look back on what we achieved this year and to prepare for an active period ahead. Although this was one of our regular monthly meetings, it played an important role in closing the year with a shared plan for 2026.
The meeting opened with a short recap of our recent work before moving into several practical updates.
Our Wall of Support is now fully functional, and we are preparing a wider outreach campaign for spring 2026. We also reviewed new articles, social media plans, and upcoming improvements to the website – including the future integration of online learning modules.
Partners shared news from their local activities, including feedback from schools and training centres already testing elements of the project. We also discussed how the curriculum will be finalised, peer-reviewed, and translated so that it can be used effectively across all partner countries.
A key part of the meeting focused on planning our international training event in Ireland. Partners reviewed the proposed dates, discussed travel and accommodation options, and shared information about the types of participants they intend to send. This early coordination ensures the training will be practical, balanced, and well-organised.
To keep the project running smoothly and transparently, partners discussed how we will handle all administrative tasks as we enter the final project year. This included agreeing on clear deadlines for submitting timesheets, using shared templates for documentation, and ensuring all financial records are complete and easy to verify. The team also reviewed preparations for the upcoming periodic report, confirming that all partners will follow the same standards and upload documents to shared folders so everything remains open, traceable, and compliant with EU requirements.
Partners shared final updates, identified where additional support may be needed, and agreed on the immediate priorities. Our next meeting will take place on 8 January 2026, where we will continue preparing the training programme, finalising the curriculum, and strengthening our communication activities.
As we close the year, the consortium remains committed to supporting women’s skills, opportunities, and visibility in the construction sector through coordinated action across all partner countries.
