MORNING

This last morning was focused on communication about heritage. The main purpose of this session was to provide participants with inputs on how to promote their local projects on cultural heritage. Their digital production will contribute to the Global Communication Campaign which was explained in depth by Mauro during this morning session.

Furthermore, the trainers explained the importance of the impact measurement: volunteers joining the local actions will be involved in a research to measure the impact of voluntary actions in their life.

More example of communication strategies and effective promotion was provided at the end of the morning by Fabrice DUFFAUD. To conclude the session, participants split in three groups and reflected about three topics: local visibility, media production and online promotion.

AFTERNOON

This last afternoon was dedicated to the training evaluation in order to collect all the comments, reflections and feedback from the participants about the whole event.

A questionnaire was distributed to each participant, to allow them to express anonymously their opinions on every aspects of the training (objectives, methods, contents).

As a second evaluation method, the trainers proposed a visual tool to assess the appreciation of the following elements: accommodation, food, trainers/facilitation, practical workshops in the castle, visit to Budos castle, participants’ contribution, group dynamic, free time and activities. You can see the result of this evaluation in the next picture :

Finally, a last evaluation tool, based on the method of space distribution, give participants the chance to voice their feedback in an interactive way. They were invited to place themselves in a room according to their assessment of the following topics:

• the work in Villandraut castle;
• the theoretical activities;
• the accommodation;
• the last session about guidelines and local actions.

In order to celebrate the end of this successful training, the group organised a farewell event to share local food from the different countries, which was prepared by the participants under Marie’s supervision. As final and welcomed guest, Eric Suzanne, Prefect of Langon joined the group for a conclusive speech.
