Our COPE-project started up at the same time as the COVID-pandemic. This naturally had major consequences. The projects that are financed from the Erasmus+ program are projects whose main purpose is for people to meet and exchange experiences and build a common understanding around various issues. Because of the pandemic, we had to redo our entire planning of our transnational partnership meetings. The first four were held entirely digitally. The first physical meeting was held in Iceland in May 2022. One and a half years from the project’s kick off meeting.
