chAnGE – seventh Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) - January 2026

In January 2026, the seventh Transnational Partner Meeting of the chAnGE project took place online, bringing partners together once again to reflect on progress and define the next strategic steps.

A central focus of the meeting was the status of the pilot phase. Partners presented updates on participant engagement, completion rates, and overall experiences with the Micro-Credentials (MCs). Particular attention was given to the feedback collected from learners during and after the course delivery. The consortium discussed both strengths and areas for improvement, analysing what worked well in terms of content, structure, and accessibility, and where adjustments could further enhance the learning experience.

Beyond reviewing the feedback, the discussion concentrated on what could be learned from the pilot phase. Partners reflected on how the MCs supported knowledge-building around climate change and healthy ageing, how participants perceived the practical relevance of the materials, and how the multilingual approach contributed to accessibility and inclusion. These insights will guide the refinement of the courses and strengthen the overall impact of the project.

Another important outcome of the January meeting was the agreement to conduct structured interviews with different stakeholder groups. These interviews aim to deepen the understanding of the project’s impact from multiple perspectives. The targeted groups include:

• Learners who participated in the pilot phase

• Experts and professionals who were involved in the development of the Micro-Credentials

• Representatives of healthcare service providers where the MCs were presented

These healthcare organisations play a crucial role, as they represent potential adopters and multipliers of the learning materials within professional practice. By engaging them directly, the consortium aims to gather practical insights into the relevance, applicability, and future sustainability of the MCs in real-world settings.

With the pilot phase well underway and valuable feedback already collected, the chAnGE project is now entering a consolidation phase. The combination of quantitative evaluation results and qualitative interview insights will provide a strong foundation for final improvements and long-term implementation strategies.

The January meeting clearly demonstrated the partners’ shared commitment to continuous learning and quality enhancement — ensuring that the chAnGE Micro-Credentials not only deliver knowledge but also create meaningful and lasting impact in the field of climate change and healthy ageing.
