To kick off the project, the entire TraNa team spent three intensive and productive days in Wrocław.
On Sunday, we had an intensive exchange of analytical concepts within the TraNa team and planned the next steps. Monday was spent in an interdisciplinary seminar with exciting presentations by members of our team as well as by researchers from the University of Wrocław and international guests. On Tuesday, we met with local teachers to explore access points for our field research.
We left Wrocław with inspiring ideas and excitement about our upcoming research!
