In January 2013 we submitted a second project: ‘The Missing Link 2, Disseminating the Inclusion Methodology of Experts by Experience in Europe’ (DIMEE) under the European Lifelong Learning Program, Grundtvig Multilateral projects.

This new project  builds on our previous project ‘The Missing Link 1, increasing social inclusion by engaging experts by experience’ that fell under Lifelong Learning, Leonardo Da Vinci, Transfer of Innovation.

This new project fits into the long-term perspective of a European Centre for experts by experience in the struggle against social exclusion.
