The Community Development Management (CDM) project partners convened in Athens, Greece, on June 3rd and 4th for a pivotal two-day co-design meeting. This milestone event brought together representatives from across Europe, taking a significant step toward turning research into practical, impactful action.

Key highlights of the meeting included:
- Reviewing research findings from partner countries and identifying common challenges and training needs
- Defining the role and core competencies of the Community Development Manager
- Drafting the structure of the CDM curriculum, including learning objectives and course modules
- Discussing training delivery methods, including online and blended approaches
- Planning next steps, including pilot programmes and innovation-driven hackathons
As the CDM project progresses, this meeting served as a catalyst for building a robust, inclusive training programme and preparing for the dynamic activities ahead.
