Good to meet you!

November’s sun was a welcoming host for arriving partners at CRPG – Centro de Reabilitação Profissional de Gaia for the first Transnational Project Meeting of the “Train the competent” project under Erasmus plus Programme. After the opening words from CRPG’s director, the agenda was set and run smoothly, enabling partners to get to know each other better, discuss project’s specifications but also to find more about CRPG’s work and its vocational rehabilitation context. Coffee breaks and lunches were also planned as opportunities to taste Portuguese gastronomy.
