BonJour! Project Meeting in Funchal
On 19 November 2025, partners of the BonJour! project met in Funchal, Madeira (Portugal) for a project coordination meeting. The meeting focused on reviewing project progress, coordinating upcoming activities, and preparing the next implementation steps.
The session began with a short overview of the overall project status, including administrative and financial updates as well as upcoming deadlines and deliverables. This helped ensure that all partners share a clear understanding of the current stage of the project.
Finalising the documentation
A central topic of the meeting was the progress of Work Packages 2 and 3, including the confirmation of remaining tasks and the planning of translations. Partners discussed responsibilities and agreed on a timeline to finalise the remaining work.
Another important part of the meeting focused on Work Package 4, particularly the development of guidelines for educators who will use the BonJour! learning platform. The partners reviewed a draft version of the guidelines and discussed how the platform can best support learning activities with senior learners.
Pilot Training of all partners
The consortium also exchanged experiences from earlier activities and began planning local training sessions for older adults in the partner countries. These sessions will help test and refine the learning platform in real learning environments.
In addition, the partners discussed the evaluation of training activities, including the design of questionnaires and the overall evaluation methodology. This will help measure the learning outcomes and improve future training activities.
6 Language Versions of the Platform
The meeting concluded with a discussion about the translation of the platform and the coordination of next steps. Partners summarised the key decisions and confirmed the upcoming milestones and deadlines.
