1.1 Arrangement of the venue, introduction, assess of expectations,
contributions and fears.
After the practical arrangement of the venue, we officially start our Kick Off meeting. We proceed
with a quick round, sharing with the rest of the group our name, our organization, our role in the
organization and other personal information.
After this we pass through the programme of the meeting and we assess the expectations,
contributions and fears of the participants about:
• The meeting itself
• The programme and its sessions in particular
• The partnership
• The seminars
• The online work
• The follow up
The results about the meeting and the programme were:

2.1 Team building
The team building session was runned by Paulo Gaspar, a member of the Dínamo’s pool of
trainers. After a name game and an energizer we experienced the Spider Web. After this, Paulo
share with us his experience in Dínamo as well as a short presentation of the work of Dínamo in
the fields of Youth Participation and Non Formal Education. The session outline, created by Paulo
with the feedback of Matia, is available asking it by email to Matia ([email protected]).

The group of participants prepared also a draft of the mobility in France, which was planned to be hosted by LDE, but, considering the recent drop
out of this partner these results is not reported in this document.
This work of the timeline bring up some doubts about the entire Partnership, such us the principle of Non Formal Education, the aim and goals of
the partnership itself, the multiply effect of the mobilities, the roles of the partners and the contribution of the learners. The discussion about these
questions was very useful for all the group, even if it mess up a bit our programme. For practical reasons and to make this report more readable we
will follow our index (page 3) and we will present here the results and the decision we took in each topic. More information about the discussion
itself can be asked to the email.

2.4 Solving the timeline
Considering the questions we found above we try to find a fil-rouge among our mobilities. The aim
of this activity was understand the local goals of each meeting, meaning the ones that will create a
local impact, but also understand the international goals of the mobilities, which make sense for the
participants and also for the entire partnership.
To do this we try to understand which results we want from each mobility and from the partnership
itself. We try to find a link between the mobilities respecting the partners’ needs. We define that the
web platform can be the right space to share and gather all the materials.
Unfortunately in this Kick Off meeting we reach to do that just for the 2º mobility in Sicily, with the
contributions of the group with a special help of the Comune di Santa Elisabetta e Bee.com. With
the other mobilities’ goals the aim of the activity was not reached, by the way the results are:
Local Goals International Goals
Create a working group on active participation(To do that they need trainers coming from abroad to do ice-breakers and team-building activities);
Present the grundtvig project SCOOL (Meeting with the media and the local representatives);
Workshop on history of participation in europe + legality issue (Massimo with the help of the nfe facilitators will do a presentation on participation)
Bring knowledge from the workshop to the partners;
Notes from Bee.Com: Our suggestion is that during the meeting in Sicily we will tackle the topics of Democracy and Youth Participation with one or more NFE workshops ruled by Dìnamo or Amsed. If the topic of Participatory Budget is needed we can organize a meeting on this topic in Tuscany since here, from 2007, we have a special regional Law (69/2007) that has been created to finance the participatory processes on different levels.

3.3 Task division
Once more time, considering the needs of our group, we decide, before step forward, to define
better the task of each partner in different “field” of the Partership. The discussion was a long
discussion and the results are:
COMMUNICATIONThe coordination of the internal communication is in charge of SE and Dinamo.The coordination of the external communication is in charge of Bee.com.Translation will be in charge of LMV.
We will send the description texts for the SCOLL book to Massimo and he will realize the brochures to be presented in the first meeting in Santa Elisabetta. It will be a SE expense.Everyone will be engaged with the communication in his own country.
European Level: everyone will be in charge of this task, Dinamo, as coordinator, need to do an extra effort since it's the coordinator of the project.
WEBSuper-administrator: LMVVimeo channel: Bee.comEditors: All of usE-Learning platform coordinator: LMVMobilities’ Report: The one for the platform is in charge of the host organisation. The report has to be sent to the partners maximum 7 days after the end of the meeting and it has to be uploaded on the platform maximum after 15 days after the end of the meeting.
On the web-site there will be a menu with all the mobilities: for each mobility there will be 1 general report in english + pictures + video (if needed).
Dinamo will do the first template for the report and they will send it to the partners for feedbacks and then this template will be used forever and ever.
The Communication-Board will be composed by:• one person from Bee.com (Serena)• one person from LMV (Feldi)• one person from Comune di Santa Elisabetta (Massimo)• one person from Dìnamo (Matia).
The first task of the communication board (in charge of Serena) will be to set a list of Tools in order – later on – to create a layout for the Tools to be “stored” on the E-Platform. The lists will be discussed by the board and then proposed to the staff in the Google-Group. This process will be useful also to divide the visibility contents (such as pictures or video of the activity) from the Tools to be used by the learners. (For example some kind of video will be stored in the session “video” of the web-site but not in the tools section since they cannot be used as tool.
The web-site has many function: it will be the diary of the project and also the box for the products and it can be also

EVALUATIONMobilities evaluation:Interkultura will be available for advise, but every host organization will be in charge for the evaluation. If Leila is personally present she can organize a session of evaluation: if she or Ivan are not present they can support the staff of the host organization through feedback on the preparation step.
Bee.com will be responsible for the final camera-diary video that can be used as an evaluation tool.
Project evaluationInterkultura will send a form that will be used in every meeting, Interkultura will check it to then store all the evaluation forms. Ivan will also send to the group a Survival-Kit that can be very useful for the evaluation but also for other.

3.4 Financial aspect
To better defie the common financial aspect of the partnership we try to define which all the kind of
expenses that we will have during the project. The results are:
Mobilities expensesEach partner pays its expenses in each mobility and receives its personal invoices. The hosting
organization can support the partners asking for the invoices to the hotels, restaurants and other
companies.
Local expenses of each partner• Human resources
• Materials
• Local activities
Hosting a mobility• Materials
• Coffebreaks
• Rental costs
We did not define which will be the common expenses, some ideias were:
• Website hosting
• Design
• Dissemination materials
• Movie production
• Logos
With the help of Massimo we agree in defining an amount for each partner for common expenses
calculated from the number of mobilities and the grant received from each partners. The results
are:
Dínamo 384,00€SE 480,00€
Bee.com 410,00€Bee.com already pays the
logos design (150,00€)Interkultura 336,00€
LMV 240,00€LMV already pays the
website (100,00€)AMSED 432,00€
ACITMMM 384,00€Total 2666,00€
More details about the financial aspect can be asked to Massimo (SE).

4.1 Finding the path
As we saw, the try to define a timeline for the project bring us several doubts and question to be
solved. TO do so, with the help of Leila and Tarek in the last day, we try to find again the path.
After an energizer and a small teambuilding activity we define which were the main doubts that
were needed to be discussed and solved. This exercise was very useful for the group of
participants in the meeting to step forward, but it was a process, so the results can make less
sense in this report that what they make during the meeting. By the way they were:

4.2 Setting up evaluation
Looking at the previous exercise we decide to move on. With the help of Ivan we set up a general
online survey on Googleform to be used as one tool of evaluation in each mobility. Ivan plan to
discuss and write the questions during this session but, considering the lack of time, we just
brainstorming and feedback the work he already did and then he complete the form after the Kick
Off Meeting. The final form is divided in several parts, such as:
• Introduction
• Partner information
• Few questions from the Mid-term report
• Preparatory work
• Preparatory work – details
• The meeting itself - introduction & backgrounds
• The meeting itself - contribution & decision making
• The meeting itself - agenda & changes
• The activities of the meeting
• Goals of the meeting
• Goals of the meeting - Project general goals
• Confidence levels
• Other factors
• Follow up – Timetable
• Follow up – Roles
• Follow up - Strengths & Weaknesses
• Personal experience & Feedback
• Educational Team
• Sociodemographic information
• Questionnaire quality
• Comments
There are mandatory and optional questions divided in quantitative and qualitative ones. According
to the previous answers of the participants he/she will be directed to the next questions. The
survey will take around 30’ to be filled. In the beginning there are the rights of the participants and
the contact of Ivan for technical problems, questions or suggestions.
This is the general form, designed already for the Kick Off evaluation, then, with the help of the
partners, Ivan will design one form for each mobility based on this one and focused on the goals
and activities of the mobility. In each mobility we will define if we want give to the participants the

survey online with a deadline, once they can back home, or in paper, to be filled on the spot. Ivan
suggested to be online to have better and more realistic results. The survey can be translated in
other language if needed.
The results will be used for the evaluation of each mobility, for Mid-Term report, for an on-going
evaluation among the partners and for the final evaluation.
This is a very important tool for evaluation, but it will be not the only one. In each mobility we will
have also other kind of evaluation on the spot and once back home such us “creative evaluation”,
video evaluation and testimonial from the participants.

4.3 Website and e-learning platform
With the help of Paul and Gabi we quickly analyze the website and its e-learning platform of the
project. The demains, partnershipscooll.eu and elearning.partnershipscooll.eu, are already bought,
but not active yet. We agree that the superadministrator of the website and of the e-learning
platform will be LMV and that all the partners can be editors.
For the website we agree that it will have several parts, such as:
1º part: Information about the LLL Programme and the Grundtvig Action, the S.Coo.L.L. Partneship
and all the partners and the mobilities (programmes, reports, fotos, videos – uploaded also on a
Vimeo channel)
2º part: Bank of tools. The communication group will define a list of tools and topics for them to set
up this part of the website
3º part: E-learning platform. Each partner will be the “teacher” of each “course” and we can upload
documents, send message to the learners and interact with them.
Due to time obstacle we did not close this decision making process about the website in the Kick
Off meeting and we will work on it also before the 2º mobility in Sicily (January 2013).
