WOLF’s participation in PrismaEU10 Seminar and next steps As a relatively young organization, this was the first representation of WOLF in such context. It was great meeting with different organizations with diverse experience and background. We discussed possible future partnerships and cooperation in projects. We were able to do a reality check on where the organization stands in terms of internal processes, policies and overall quality procedures and get inspiration to further improve them. Last but not least it was great meeting with familiar faces and organizations we already work with. Next steps of WOLF, following the participation in PrismaEU10 Seminar, are going to be: Planning future projects Exploring the possibility of joining Prisma European Network Improving our internal processes Follow our socials to see what’s coming next!

The participants had the chance to work together and facilitate different workshops and sessions. They were able to discover the surroundings of Bran and build stronger bonds during that.
