The meeetings

TM 1 - Bulgaria 

The meeting aim was to welcome everyone on board and get a shared understanding of the objectives and values of the project. The objective was to create a common understanding between all the participating organizations, create a team, get to know each other and ensure that everyone is prepared to work inter-culturally. Also, participants have split the tasks and responsibilities and created a clear timeline.

Presentations by each organisation about:
1. Positioning of football in less developed areas in your country
2. Good practices of sports organisations in your country in less developed areas
Workshop about the report on good practices and what needs to be done step by step (facilitated by AMFL)
The hosting organisation introduced the international project members to the main people from AMFL team. 



TM 2 - Slovenia, Murska Sobota, 19-21September 2021

There was a trainer at the meeting from Bulgaria who joined online and conducted the training. The training was held following a number of sessions focused on creating a business plan with all its sections specifically with a focus on decentralisation of activities of sports organisation in different regions, development of less developed areas and practical steps. 
The training used non-formal methods of education and was supposed to involve one person from each organisation (might be external as well) who then going forward was the person with the role to start pilot activities in less developed areas.
