The meeting in Ulm was a final meeting with a review of the work performed in two years. The joint work and the created products could be presented to the general international public and received great attention and recognition due to its content as well as to its methodical process.
There was enough time for exchange about the project process and experience and knowledge gained in this time, which have also been described in the book. All groups considered the project as important and enriching in terms of both working in the local/national context and on the European level.
Beyond the joint work personal friendships developed which will continue.
Everybody expressed the wish to stay in contact in the future and maybe to launch a new joint project.
