On the 5th and 6th of November, we held the Final Evaluation Meeting of the project “SUSFUR – Promoting Sustainable Furniture Production in the Western Balkans” in Ulcinj, together with the project’s international partners.
The meeting brought together representatives of partner organisations and institutions from Montenegro, Albania, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Netherlands, with the aim of reviewing the results achieved throughout the project, evaluating the activities implemented, and discussing opportunities for continued cooperation in this field.
During the meeting, partners presented the results of the project’s five main components, including research and analysis of the furniture sector, training programmes for vocational education and training (VET) providers, the development of a vocational training roadmap and pilot initiatives, as well as digital content, e-learning platforms, and project communication and visibility activities. The preliminary quality report was also presented, providing an opportunity for a joint assessment of the work carried out and the results achieved.
The SUSFUR project aims to promote sustainable furniture production in the Western Balkans by strengthening cooperation between vocational education and training institutions and the business sector. Particular emphasis is placed on the circular economy, the development of green skills, and the improvement of production processes, while encouraging the use of sustainable practices.
The final meeting provided an important opportunity to reflect on the partners’ joint efforts, acknowledge each partner’s contribution, and identify ways in which the results and knowledge developed through the project can continue to be used beyond its completion.
The SUSFUR project is co-funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ programme.
