After the pandemic, we wanted to continue co-operation with our partners and use the experiences gained from the pandemic regarding the possibilities of distance communication We wanted to create new training agreements for eg tourism producers students and metal industry. We wanted to develop Vamia´s processes in international activities and to try therefore different digital tools to improve the quality of the exchanges. Therefore we wanted to send a digital team from Vamia to the exchange and get new ideas for the exchange process and try new applications for coaching and spreading the experiences from abroad and also to develop cyper security. A foreign partner from metal industry who also have the instruction of language in English was wanted for the metal industry.
