The third LTTA (Learning, Teaching and Training Activities) of the MyLIFE project, titled “Citizens of Europe at any age” has began on May 16th in Porto, Portugal; this mobility is offering the participating European partners a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas and reflections, thus contributing to the training and enhancement of the skills needed to carry out this Erasmus+ project successfully.

The participants, welcomed by the members of Associação Social Recreativa Cultural Bem Fazer VaiAvante, met in the premises of the Casa das Associações of Porto for the event’s official launch, which was inaugurated by the presentation of VaiAvante, which outlined the activities on the agenda. Then it was time for the presentation by Grazia Chiarini and Sergio Brunetti of the LUA, Free University of Autobiography, who spoke about the results of the game’s testing session, which took place on May 9th and was preparatory to this mobiliy.

The event continued the next day with a workshop, led my Maurizio Sani of Nkey, which was centred around techniques and proposals for dissemination activities, with the aim of transmitting to the partners the skills necessary to carry out the project’s dissemination and promotion activities:; Carla Sabatini, Nkey’s coordinator for MyLIFE, could not participate in person due to unforeseen commitments, and assisted the partners remotely.

Afterwards, each partner spent about 20 minutes presenting the dissemination activities that they had already carried out for MyLIFE; this was also an opportunity for a productive and formative confrontation between the partners, who were able to learn from each other some of the most effective dissemination techniques. After that, LUA presented the results of the analysis carried out on the testing phase together with Polish team CEBS (Centrum Edukacji i Badań Społecznych – Educational and Social Research Centre). Then the word was passed to partners from CEBS, from Fondazione ASPHI Onlus and from LUA which, in the person of Grazia Chiarini, carried out an educational workshop to provide partners with the necessary tools to successfully complete the activities for the next phase of MyLIFE,  which includes quantitative testing. Ines Olivera from VaiAvante then finished off the meeting by presenting the different local realities with which the Portuguese partners had the opportunity to collaborate in recent months for the testing of the MyLIFE game.
