. NEWSLETTER 2 EMPOWERING YOUTH FOR EXCELLENCE IN SOCIAL ACTION (EYESA) Project partner’s meeting We started our active project work with our Kick-Off-Meeting in Seville in December 2017. Altum Foundation, our host and EYESA project coordinator, presented the project work plan and schedule and the project Handbook. We discussed in detail each activity and the role of partners, especially as a first step – the Intellectual Output (IO)1 / Self-evaluation tool . Fundación Juventud y Cultura introduced the Evaluation Strategy and the Risk Management Plan and explained that subsequently partners will do a risk assessment brainstorming exercise to identify risk factors, possible solutions and who is responsible for taking action. A dissemination plan draft was presented by EYES and some proposals of the project logo were discussed.     We met each other for a second time in Innsbruck in May 2018. Basically, partners’ work has been focused on brainstorming on intellectual output (IO) 1 and 2, but also the dissemination plan and the project website and Collaborative Portal were discussed.
