On September 15-16 the Generations and Gender Programme welcomed seven talented national champions at NIDI in the Hague. They joined a workshop offered within the COORDINATE project. The aim of the class was to learn how to communicate the benefits of longitudinal studies to people outside academia and research.
The first day of the training, participants worked together with Daniela Vono de Vilhena, Deputy Executive Secretary of Population Europe, in exploring, processing and planning their strategies for engaging non-scientific national stakeholders working in the field of age-group-specific well-being. The second part of the workshop was led by Vytenis Juozas Deimantas, GGP's Research Infrastructure Manager and focused on individual or group work .
The 'class' is now off to their respective countries to hold workshops making longitudinal data accessible, useful and relatable to national stakeholders.
If you are interested in longitudinal studies and the value they bring to policy makers, public servants, NGOs and other actors in societies, follow the COORDINATE Twitter account to keep up to date on workshops to be held in Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, Lithuania, Republic of Moldova and Poland.
