Stimulating cognitive abilities with serious games
The three years Erasmus+ funded Bridge project is now coming to an end and the last steps took place.
The consortium met for the final transnational partners meeting in Chalkida, hosted by Alzheimer Chalkida, on the 8th and 9th of July 2021. In that occasion partners had the chance to finalize the last project outputs, make the point on the achieved results and the last upcoming tasks.
The International Multiplier Event of Bridge project was organized online and physically on 9th of July 2021 in Chalkida.
