National Liaisons and Teacher Advisers from 22 European countries participated with the aim of discussing how to improve this project on European issues. The meeting started with an overview of the current Spring Day activities given by the European Schoolnet team and followed by a brief report on activities organised at national level. The meeting represented a successful opportunity to share good practices, learning from past experiences and reflecting about the future of the campaign. Willing to meet soon again, participants were also invited to debate online, using the freshly created Spring Day online community.
