OUR WORKING GROUP

JANUARY 2024 - MAY 2025

As part of Work Package 3 — Peer-to-Peer Learning: Team Member Exchanges, three transnational Working Groups were held in Brussels, Padua, and Amsterdam, gathering 27 team members from MolenGeek (Belgium), TechGrounds (Netherlands), and TechStation (Italy).

These 3-day collaborative sessions were designed to exchange best practices, harmonize operational methods, and strengthen the collective capacity of teams to deliver inclusive digital education across Europe.

Each Working Group reflected the spirit of MolenGeek International — a community built on collaboration, diversity, and hands-on learning. Supported by digital platforms such as Odoo, Google Workspace, and Molearning, participants worked together to co-create standardized processes now integrated into the MolenGeek International Handbook.

The first Working Group, hosted in Brussels, focused on project coordination and pedagogical alignment, standardizing reporting methods and improving transnational communication. The second, in Padua, explored digital communication and event management, adapting MolenGeek’s training programs to different cultural contexts and strengthening collaboration between Italian and Belgian hubs. The third, in Amsterdam, centered on inclusion and employment pathways, drawing inspiration from the Pathways NL program to develop new transferable learning modules and finalize the Peer Learning section of the Handbook.

Beyond their concrete outputs, these exchanges fostered a genuine European learning culture — where trainers, coordinators, and innovators from different countries learned from each other, shared challenges, and celebrated their collective progress.

Together, they embodied the project’s core ambition: to build a sustainable, inclusive, and borderless ecosystem of digital empowerment that continues to grow long after the project’s completion.
