On September 27th, in Vernești, Buzău county, the Conference for the dissemination and exploitation of the results of the project was held. The event aimed to disseminate the activities and analyze together with local actors the benefits that 60 adults from the countryside, from Romania and Bulgaria, obtained following a personal development course and coaching sessions for a year. We aimed that through the testimonials presented at the event, we would inspire and help the participants to be aware of their needs and solutions, through concrete methods, elaborated and tested in this project, for their personal development. The event was part of the "Rural adults deserve personal development" project, financed by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union and is implemented by the Association Assistance and Programs for Sustainable Development - Agenda 21 (Romania) and Open Education Center Bulgaria.

On 28-29 August, 2023, in Mineralni Bani Haskovo, Bulgaria, took place the conference for dissemination of the projects' results to interested local actors and stakeholders. The meeting was attended by 30 participants from the Haskovo region - representatives of civil society organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, heads of community cultural centers, representatives of municipalities, public officials. The meeting provided an opportunity not only to share the activities and results of the project, but also to discuss the possibility of conducting training for personal development, especially for young people from the region on the ground by seeking the support of local authorities and using the community center as a training venue. The participants also examined the possibilities of applying for funding for training under the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.

Final and extra module of our trainings focused on the Erasmus+ program. The trainees were glad to learn about the goals and objectives, priorities and types of activities financed by Erasmus+.

In April 2023, in Konush, Bulgaria, we started working with the third group of adults from rural areas. 13 participants joined us on the path to gain specific competences and build their own personal development plan. A project financed by the EU through Erasmus+.

On March 31st, 2023, we launched in Vernești, Romania, the project "Adults from rural areas also deserve personal development!". A group of 13 people started the training course. Personal development is a vital part of an individual's growth and progress. We are happy to have the new group from Vernesti with us in the project! The project is financed by the European Union through the Erasmus+ program.

In Bulgaria, learning activities are ongoing - we had 8 trainings conducted in the village of Voivodovo - with a group of 14 participants and in Zlato Pole - 5 trainings with a group of 9 participants by the end of 2022.

On November 3rd, 2022, we went to Nuci, Ilfov county Romania, where we met the participants of the personal development course for the second module. We worked together with a wonderful team of women - on the topic of problem identification. The first exercise was to find internal motivation by analyzing from four angles the question "Why am I here now?" Then I worked on role management by identifying, listing and analyzing each role on three levels (allocated time - emotional effort - level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction). The course is part of the "Rural adults deserve personal development" project financed by the European Union through the Erasmus+ program.

In Bulgaria, the first round of six meetings, two in each of the designated project locations (Zlato Pole village, Dimitrovgrad municipality and Voyvodovo village and Konush village, Haskovo municipality), were attended by the mayors of the villages, as well as the directors of the schools and the secretaries of the Chitalishtes - cultural centers, as part of the campaign for the selection of the project training participants.
