The IGTrain project celebrated on the 22nd of September the Final Conference at the Espace Monte Paschi Belgio in Brussels (Belgium). The event was organized by Partenalia aisbl, leader of the work package dissemination of the IGTrain, and the other partners of the IGTrain consortium, Verein Multikulturell, Bimec Ltd, Mozaik, COOS Marche and Waterpolis.
Partners of the project L’AQUA attended this meeting and showed their interest in this European project about training, taking part off the different workshops during the event. The representatives of L’AQUA highlighted the broader relationship between the two European projects. The tourism is one of the main economic sectors of some of the European countries and the transfer of knowledge from experienced workers to younger ones is a measure that allows organisations to be more competitive.
