On 17 April 2026, the GastroTour project held a successful online webinar במסגרת its staff development activities within Work Package 3. The event brought together 21 participants from partner organizations, highlighting strong collaboration and engagement across the consortium.

The webinar focused on the development of GastroTour short courses and provided an opportunity for partners to share progress, exchange ideas, and receive constructive feedback. Participants were welcomed by the GastroTour coordination team, who outlined the objectives of the session and emphasized the importance of advancing high-quality learning opportunities.

A central part of the webinar was dedicated to presentations by short course coordinators, who introduced their courses and highlighted their value for students and lifelong learners. These pitches were followed by discussions that encouraged peer feedback and further refinement of course content.

In addition, participants explored strategies for designing and delivering effective online short courses and modules. A presentation by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) showcased practical insights from the CLIMAR project, sparking an engaging exchange of ideas among attendees.

The session concluded with a summary of key takeaways and the identification of next steps, ensuring continued alignment among partners.

This webinar represents an important milestone in the development of GastroTour learning packages. A second webinar is scheduled for 23 April 2026, continuing the collaborative efforts to enhance course design and implementation.
