On 11-12 March 2026, ACHIEVE CCS partners came together in Dublin for the third Transnational Project Meeting. The event was hosted by Eurospeak at Leonardo Hotel Dublin Parnell Street. The meeting brought a valuable opportunity not only to review progress, but also to reconnect, reflect, and look ahead to the final stage of the project.

Key Discussions and Progress

Over two days of discussions, collaboration, and exchange, partners revisited what has already been achieved and what still lies ahead. One of the key highlights was the successful completion of the Academy for Women in CCS – a major milestone of the project. The programme brought together women from different countries, equipping them with new skills, knowledge, and confidence to grow within the cultural and creative sectors.

Much of the conversation was focused on the upcoming Virtual Exhibition, which will showcase artworks created throughout the project. More than just a digital platform, the exhibition is envisioned as a shared space for stories, creativity, and connection that brings together participants from across countries and backgrounds.

Dissemination, Events, and Sustainability

Dissemination and outreach were also high on the agenda. Volyn Foundation presented ongoing communication efforts and upcoming activities, including local multiplier events and a joint initiative dedicated to World Creativity and Innovation Day. These events will open the project to wider audiences and celebrate the creative work developed within ACHIEVE CCS.

Beyond project tasks, the meeting created space for important conversations about sustainability: how the results, partnerships, and ideas developed within ACHIEVE CCS can continue to grow in the future. Partners shared thoughts on potential collaborations, new initiatives, and ways to keep supporting women in the cultural and creative sectors beyond the project’s lifetime.

As the project moves into its final phase, the Dublin meeting marked an important moment of alignment and shared commitment. Despite challenges along the way, partners remain focused on a common goal: empowering women, strengthening creative communities, and building connections that last.
