Finally, the members of the partner associations were involved in brainstorming activities aimed at creating the training modules and the learning platform provided by the project.
What emerged from each work team and from the opinions expressed by the participants is that it is necessary to give more importance and value to the emotions of one’s own and others, in order to face difficulties or crisis/conflict. Observing the behavior of individuals and listening to their opinions is crucial to build healthy, proactive and collaborative environments. In addition, the activities allowed participants to understand that failure is not the end of something, but that from it you can always draw the good and start again, as best you can.
