 The partners start with a checking and adoption of the agenda. There are no objections to the topics included for discussion so the participants in the meeting commence with their work.

The first task is the work on the compendium.

The partners go through the compendium.

It is agreed that a paragraph giving some brief details on the project, its history and how the whole partnership was established should be included in the Foreword section. Zori is about to do the integration of this paragraph. 

The partners continue with a discussion on the depth and broadness of the definition of cultural peer learning.

The partners decide that some further efforts may be put into the case studies section in order to make it clearer, if and where necessary, how the latter are connected with cultural peer learning.

The partners decide to bring some further clarification and reorganize also the Peer learning section of the compendium. Some changes in the lay out and structure of the compendium are adopted.

The partners decide to have a Conclusions section, which should not only rephrase the benefits of cultural and peer learning approaches but add further partners’ insight into the project and its outcomes.

The conclusions section will incorporate the experiences of the partners during the project as well as selection of comments from end-beneficiaries of practically implemented cultural and peer learning approaches.

The partners decide to draw up proposals for inclusion in the Conclusions section, which should be sent to Nastja by 30 April 2011 in order to be put together by 15 May 2011.

The partners also discuss the structure of the case studies and end up with a conclusion that it can go through very minor adaptation and that its lay out may a change a little, but that it otherwise gives an opportunity for information to be presented in an organized and consistent for all case studies manner.

The partners decide that the Background section of the case studies should be moved in the beginning together with Description.

With regard to the layout of the present compendium the partners decide that the Index should be linked with all the chapters and that all cases should be included in the Index and therefore quickly accessible through links again.

The compendium should also include the EU disclaimer.

In order for the layout of the compendium to be finalized all partners decide to send to Erika photos from case studies presented in order for the latter to be included for visualization in the compendium. This should be done by 30 April 2011.

Part 3 of the compendium, which covers all peer learning dedicated topics should be finalized by the end of April 2011.

The finalized compendium content (except for the Conclusions part, which she should put up together again anyway) should be sent to Nastja for proofreading till end of April 2011.

Nastja proofreads and finalizes Conclusions till mid May.

The partners continue with a discussion on the forthcoming final report elaboration. Ulrich proposes to prepare the final report two weeks before the meeting in Hamburg so that it can be discussed and augmented there if necessary.

The partners confirm the dates for meeting in Hamburg – 15-18 June 2011.

In order for hotel booking and further planning to be done Ralf should send out a registration form by email to all partners in order for all attendees to register themselves.

The partners decide to have one more flashmeeting on 9 May 2011 at 10am. Zori should provide the link to the book meeting room by email by 21 April 2011.   

The partners confirm their readiness to update their web pages with news on the project.

The same goes for the dedicated project blog.

The partners decide also to check and fill in all evaluation questionnaires, which are still pending so that a final internal evaluation is developed after the final meeting in Hamburg.
