Getting Ready for European Citizenship On LineSummary of the work done

- IOC-ES has visited its information processing and European projects department to

discuss technical aspects and development of the project.- Dissemination of the project in all the organizations countries at local, regional and

international level.

- Attendance on the part of IOC-ES to the initial general session and advice session of

the project in the meeting held in central office of SEPIE (Spanish National Agency of

Erasmus+).

- A second Grecol Newsletter (e-bulletin)elaboration is foreseen as well as a second

flyer before concluding the second phase of GRECOL.

The following meeting to Turkey has been cancelled after analysis of the current

situation. The idea of the partnership is probably to postpone it to the 3rd year if it is

possible or to look for an alternative.Until the moment the initial objectives declared in the application have been completed.

New representatives among partners joining the work in progress have been integrated

to the group and they actively collaborated.

As for the difficulties, in general they have taken place for technical questions related

with tools that have been used or with the internet connection at the moment of

carrying out videoconferences. On the other hand, the association takes into account a

certain delay according to the initial calendar.

In relation to the foreseen meetings: the mobility to Turkey has been cancelled for

security problem and at the moment it has been postponed.

Eventually the project already offers intellectual outputs: the module 1 is practically

concluded and the other four modules are in progress.

The objective of deepening the understanding of Europe and the European citizenship

inside the partnership is taking place in a satisfactory way and it is taking us to meditate

so much in the group of the association as well in each of one of the organizations on

the situation in which Europe is at the moment both referring to the institutions and

their citizens. The crisis of the refugees and the manner in which it has been approached

by all the implied agents were topic of discussion in all the face to face reunions and

they will be also reflected in the materials in elaboration.

The current situation at European level about security matter has compelled us to cancel

one of the foreseen meeting in Turkey, mobility that we hope to be able to carry out

later on if the international situation changes.
