Last February, the second face-to-face meeting between the teams of the various participating countries was held in Finland, with the aim of training 12 trainers - 2 for each partner - to operate as tutors for the course for first-cycle school teachers.

The second day was dedicated to deepening the DREAM methodology and the preparation of good performances museums thanks to the guide Paul Russo, Italian coordinator of the project for the General States of Innovation.
Russo then guided the participants to a second visit to the POSTIMUSEO, helping them to observe and identify the possible elements of interest of the museum heritage, to be enhanced and used to create scenes museums. A concrete and very effective example of how to use the DREAM method. Based on what they had learned, the groups put themselves to the test and created their own museum performance in the various rooms of the museum.
The last day space for the exhibition of the various performances created by the individual teams! A training course that led to the highlighting of both critical points and elements for improvement; furthermore the partner CTK Rijeka presented the design of the platform.
