Knowledge and skill acquisition:

It was very enriching to learn about other projects in Europe and other research methodologies. Some suggestions related to the theoretical framework and data analysis will be important for my research.

Outputs:

It was important for me to systematise the most relevant topics in terms of evidence for quality family support, to reflect on systemic transformation at different levels, to think about and define indicators and guidelines for quality assurance, to know the types of consensus methods, to learn about Lema project, and to know some European publications related to integrated care and support.

Future collaborations:

I would like to learn more about European guidelines on child protection, integrated care and support or alternatives to alternative care.
