The 4th Management Meeting of EVANDE project and the European Meeting on the Mitigation of Risks were implemented with great success last week at the Natural history Museum of Crete.

The European Meeting was organised on the 13th of October 2016 together with another CP EU project of NHMC, the CPMODEL, on the occasion of the celebration of the International Day for Risk Reduction. Several invited speakers such as Mrs V. Silvestri from the National Italian Civil Protection Office, Mr D. Kaliviotis from the Greek General Secretariat for CP, Mr G. Xanthopoulos from the Mediterranean Forest Institution of Hellenic Agriculture Organisation “DEMETER”, Mr R.V. Quesada from Valencia CP volunteers section, partners from the two organising projects, many representatives from the Regional and Local authorities, CP staff, and many volunteers attended the very interesting meeting.

The speakers and participants shared their experiences on the CP mechanisms in their countries, the implementation of risk mitigation actions, as well as the outputs and results from the implementation of EVANDE and CPMODEL projects at their countries.

During the afternoon, volunteers and CP staff participated in training workshops on the use of EVANDE’s e-learning platform as well as on the testing of the e-games that have been developed.

The 4th project meeting of EVANDE took place on the 14th October 2016. During the meeting, partners discussed on the implementation of the project’s actions that have past, the remaining dissemination and training activities, as well as project’s follow up.
