3.3 FOLLOW-UP MEETINGS Ideally, a follow-up meeting should be attended by the entire project team so they can perform an evaluation of the project and its outcomes together. It is also a good opportunity for everyone to give each other feedback on their work. Besides focus- ing on the highlights, sufficient attention should be paid to any problematic or tricky situations that occurred during the project. If the digital communication channels and formats that participants used during the project are maintained also after it ends, they can be used to provide feed - back and engage in reflection. Participants can attend virtual follow-up meetings to stay in touch and keep working on the project in groups. And of course online meetings cut down on travel expenses, are quicker to schedule, and require less organisation. 3.4 LONG-TERM CONTACT AMONG PARTICIPANTS While projects can be considered stand-alone, they also help to create or strength - en connections between all participants or involved parties after the project ends. This way, networks are built that are useful to experts in their everyday work and that also play an important role in daily life for, e.g., young people. That is why it is important to encourage everyone to stay in touch and to create opportunities for dialogue by inviting former participants to weigh in on certain subjects, for instance. In this context, a good mix of online and offline activities should be offered and a contact person ought to be appointed. To this end, tools can be used that were already employed during the preparation and implementation phase, since participants will already be familiar with them. 3.5 NETWORK MAINTENANCE AND FOLLOW-UP Another important task besides building a community among participants is to maintain existing networks. This involves giving visibility to one’s activities beyond the confines of the actual project, extending the network and in turn its reach, and actively shaping the network by, e.g., reporting on project outcomes at conferences or in expert groups or by appointing a project representative to function as a contact person for certain topics.
