The project partner meeting in Strasbourg consisted of various activities aimed at networking, exploring relevant institutions, and gaining insights into the European Council, European Youth Center, and European Parliament. The meeting began with a welcome and introduction session by the members of AIFED, followed by a social dinner to foster networking and project-related discussions. The participants then visited the European Youth Center, where they learned about the priorities and potential funding avenues within the Council of Europe. The importance of youth participation and collaboration was emphasized, along with the various grants offered by the European Youth Foundation for future projects. The following day, the participants had the opportunity to explore the city of Strasbourg and its historical landmarks. They also enjoyed a traditional dinner at a local restaurant, further enhancing their cultural experience. The final day included a guided visit to the European Parliament, where participants gained insight into the legislative process, the institution's historical significance, and its ongoing efforts for European integration. The visit highlighted the importance of youth participation, deepened understanding of the European Union's functioning, and facilitated networking and relationship building among project partners. Overall, the meeting in Strasbourg provided a platform for strengthening partnerships, aligning project goals with European priorities, and developing a deeper appreciation for the region's cultural and historical significance. The insights gained from the visits to the European Youth Center and European Parliament can contribute to enhancing the project's direction, approach, and impact at the European level.

An extraordinary event called "Metaversing in the Circus Tent '' took place in the circus tent of Cirkus Allegro, located in the Gärtnerfantasien in Winsen/Luhe, Germany. 56 participants got the opportunity to get to know the Metaverse and to move in it both digitally and physically. The event started with a get-to-know-you game, skilfully facilitated by the organisers. The participants were divided into groups and created avatars, partly with pen and paper or on their smartphones. This first digital encounter created curiosity and anticipation for the programme ahead. Martina Haas opened with an impulse lecture on the topic "Do young people and adults photograph people differently? Using older devices: Camera, film, photo album photos, it was shown which paths photos used to take before they could be viewed. Digital photos are taken faster, many more photos are taken and the motives are very different (selfies, changing room photos, food photos). The impact on the privacy and public image of young people changed enormously as a result. The young people understood better why adults have a different approach to photos. After the keynote presentation, participants were encouraged to share their impressions and thoughts in a feedback round. This open exchange allowed those present to ask their questions, express concerns and discuss ideas. A lively discussion ensued, highlighting different perspectives. Both sceptical and enthusiastic voices were heard and contributed to a diverse exchange of views. The event "Metaversing in the circus tent" was a great success and gave the participants the opportunity to get to know the Metaverse together with younger and older people. It became clear that the young people were quicker to master the technical challenges and try out many different programmes, but the older people were better and quicker to assess which portals and functions could be of use to them through their experience. The youth workers found some new methods to work with young people. All week they have communicated project and giving information about activities and results
