Transnational Project Meeting in Muğla, Turkey on 11-12 April 2022

The partners worked two days together on April 11th and 12th. During this meeting partners deeply focused on the project management related issues including communication and dissemination. The partners presented their work regarding the dissemination of the project within their organisations. This includes informing staff and volunteers about the progress made, and also the discussion of the project outputs.
Besides, the partners planned the Pilot Training Sections together. Accordingly, under the coordination of Training 2000, partners will reach 10 volunteers in their countries and will complete the questionnaire after the pilot test. Each partner will produce a national report on the basis of a template provided by Training 2000. Additionally, the agenda included not only workshops but also cultural activities. So, everyone had the opportunity to get to know each other better and exchange ideas and suggestions. In addition, there was a planning of the future stages and next meetings of VolinAct.

The Partners had a Field Visit in Muğla, Turkey

After the project's theoretical discussions, the VolinAct team had a field visit to the Marmaris İçmeler where the wildfires had spread along the coast during the summer of 2021, destroying the regional natural and touristic landmarks. During the visit, the partners observed that after the fire a lot of work has been done to erase the traces of such tragic event. The forest fire begun on July 29 in Muğla's Marmaris district, lasted for 9 days and was effective on an area of approximately 11 thousand hectares. Immediately after the cooling works in the burned areas were completed, the central and local principals started a cleaning work for the reforestation of the burned areas.
