Indeed project meeting in Zilina/Slovakia

At the face-to-face meeting of our Indeed international Erasmus+ project on independent living in Zilina on 18-19 June 2024, we learned a lot about independent living in Slovakia. The work is continuing and we will meet again in person in October, this time in Pécs/Hungary, hosted by the People First Public Benefit Association.

This one was the first step of visiting each other. We are looking forward to our next study tours in Poznan/Poland in June and Vrchlabi/Czech Republic in August, to see what the Polish and Czech versions of the Hidden City look like!
