In late March, the partners of the StaGe of Mind project gathered in Dublin to celebrate the final transnational meeting, share experiences, and evaluate the project. After two years of collaboration, it was of great importance to provide a platform for all those involved in the development of this initiative. The project has received highly positive evaluations due to the significant impact it has had on participating organizations and program beneficiaries.
During the meeting, each local group had the opportunity to showcase their process for the production of the final work and its performance. Every partner brought along small videos for the rest to enjoy, providing a glimpse into their creative journeys. Moreover, we had the chance to witness the complete performance by the Irish group and engage in conversations with some of the participants, who were thrilled to share their experiences.
In addition to these enriching activities and the strategic planning for the completion of all project tasks, the project team also had the privilege of visiting the Carmelite Centre, a community hub where HAIL conducts numerous activities. We explored the center and witnessed firsthand the inspiring work being done there. Furthermore, we had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Literature, where we were introduced to a community development program centered around creative writing.
The StaGe of Mind project has been a transformative journey that brought together individuals from diverse backgrounds to create something truly remarkable. It has been a testament to the power of collaboration, art, and community engagement. Throughout the course of this initiative, we have witnessed the positive impact it has had on participating organizations, as well as the profound influence it has had on the lives of the program beneficiaries.
This final transnational meeting in Dublin was not just a gathering of partners; it was a celebration of artistic expression, cultural exchange, and the forging of lasting connections. It provided a platform for the voices of all involved to be heard and acknowledged, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and diversity in creative endeavors.
As we now embark on the final stages of this project, we carry with us the memories and lessons learned. The StaGe of Mind project will undoubtedly leave a lasting legacy, inspiring future collaborations and artistic endeavors. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the partners, participants, and supporters who have contributed to the success of this project.
In closing, we look forward to witnessing the continued growth and impact of the StaGe of Mind project as it reaches its culmination. May it serve as a beacon of inspiration, encouraging others to embrace the power of art, unity and community engagement.
