As part of the project, all partners collected good practices. In order to cover the whole field, the work focused on three target groups / three levels.

The collection of good practices and the analysis of data allowed us to look at existing experiences in different countries in relation to all target groups and at all levels, but with a particular focus on the international level.

A total of 333 good practices were collected and evaluated during the project. Most of them in English (278), but a significant number are also in Bulgarian (32) and Turkish (19).

Although some of the good practices are not in English, all of the descriptions are, and can be translated and adapted as needed (at the request of Asian partners).
