To achieve this, the project partners discussed the main steps of the project: problem identification, presentation of best practices, and the creation of prototypes through design thinking workshops, which will be adapted by the economy and industry players. As part of the meeting, a design thinking workshop was also held, in a team-building spirit, where participants were tasked with developing reusable cutlery.
