At the meeting, different opinions were expressed and a partner to manage each important activity was determined and relevant decisions were taken. Thus, the milestones of the project implementation were determined and agreed upon by all participating members. Each partner presented their ideas for the training module they would develop and manage; Further discussion took place until all parties were satisfied and the overall consistency of the modules was guaranteed.
