Due to the withdrawal of two partners (Agia Varvara Municipality and Almada Municipality) and their
replacement with two new partners (Murcia Municipality and Torres Vedras Municipality), and also
to the late withdrawal decision of Almada Municipality and consequently the late integration in the
partnership of Torres Vedras Municipality, it all led that the first transnational project meeting

place in February 2019, but already with the final partnership composition, this is, with the
participation of the two new partners.
