The workshop gathered 25 participants from Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Ukraine to discuss the progress and coordination of activities related to the national dimension of Ukrainian vocational teacher education in the final phase of the project.

In addition to the workshop, the University of Konstanz (UKON) organized a round table session where participants had the opportunity to engage with UKON students from the Bachelor's and Master's study programs.
