The second PROMISE meeting in Rome was hosted by our Italian partner, IPRS, from the 22 to the 24 February 2017. The meeting was very productive with presentations, discussions on fieldwork, analysis, national and European practice networks, dissemination, as well as work package meetings. There has been much progress since the first kick-off project meeting that took place in Manchester, back in May 2016. There were new staff members joining the PROMISE project, who were warmly welcomed to the group. The partners had all produced a national context report (coming soon to this website!) that provides an overview of developments in the last 15 years, focusing on national and local experiences of young people, with reference to key historical changes that have shaped the current political, social and cultural climate.

Open all doors
Open all senses
Open all defenses, ask
