After a year of work across the Re/Presenting Europe project, our consortium came together to reconnect, reflect, and share what we learned. This two-day gathering focused on strengthening collaboration, offering friendly feedback, and exploring how our representations and community practices can better support diversity and belonging in Europe and the Netherlands. We revisited our goals, celebrate successes, and identify meaningful links between teams, methods, activities, and communities. Through shared sessions, featured speakers, and creative engagement, we aim to deepen connections, spark innovation, and enhance communication across the project.
