EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This document serves as a detailed record of all roadshow activities in the

different countries.

According to the contract, roadshows had to be organised in 8 countries,

reaching at least 100 participants. In practice, we far exceeded the

contractual obligations.

All roadshows were organized by the project partners in France, Germany,

Poland, Romania, the UK, Spain, Italy and Greece, and coordinated by FVE. A

roadshow entailed between one and three main events, and any other follow-

up events in different regions of the country.

The total amount of roadshows organized and participants reached far

exceeded the contractual obligations. In all countries, the required number of

100 participants were reached (and in many much more), representing the

varying industry stakeholders: transporters, drivers, organisers, official

veterinarians, farmers, driver training centers, traders, slaughterhouse

representatives and workers.

The identification of suitable locations and speakers was decided based on

consortium partners and Stakeholder Platform recommendations. All meetings

were conducted in the native language of the target country. In many

countries, the ministry supported or co-organised the events. Generally,

the meetings included an introduction to the project, a presentation of the

deliverables, the distribution of factsheets and advertisement of the online

availabilities of the deliverables, and an evaluation of the events by the

participants.

In many countries, the coordinators went to a great extend to make these

workshops a success. They printed materials themselves, developed

posters, made document holders, invited transport companies to bring trucks

to show to the participants, etc. Often meeting rooms were given for free and

speakers came for free. Some even made T-shirts to promote the project.

In addition to the countries required in the contract, also meetings took

place in Belgium, Estonia and Serbia. The deliverables were also promoted

to many European and International audiences and umbrella

stakeholder groups, see EU activities

Through local and national media partnerships, as well as the Project’s own

social media accounts, the roadshows and the Project itself achieved an even

greater reach.

Even after countries had the official numbers required, they continued and still

continue to hold events to promote further the guides. At the moment of

writing this final report, future roadshows are still being planned such as in

Ireland, the Netherlands and Belgium, which no longer fall under this contract

but will continue to promote the deliverables and welfare of animals during

transport.

ANNEX 1: General Considerations

• It was not so easy to find suitable events for all species in many of the

different countries. While the cattle and pig sectors generally are very

well organized, the horse sector, mainly comprising private owners, is

not. This makes it difficult to find suitable events e.g. for horses.

• We did not have experts for all species in all countries. This was a

difficulty when e.g. our cattle expert was from the UK and a Greek

speaking cattle expert needed to be found. We solved this by making

use of our national members of the stakeholder group, who had followed

the project from the start and were usually motivated to help out with

the roadshows. We also solved this by making template presentations

per species; which could be re-utilized in the different countries.

• Finances: seen that the budget per country was limited, a lot of

creativity and flexibility was needed. In many cases, cooperation was

done with the ministry, research institutes or farm associations. This

made that meeting rooms were given for free in many occasions.

• Feedback: We learned that they participants may be hesitant to give

personal details. We also learned we get more feedback questionnaires

back when traded for USB sticks or the Factsheets at the end of the

session

• Little money was available for developing

gadgets but we produced 4 GB USB sticks

with the animal transport guide logo on

which we put all guides, all factsheets, the

Fitness guides and the EC briefing note on

transporting animals to Turkey.

• Idea for the future – laminated flipcards on

a keyring that can be kept by drivers in

their vehicles, to be used as a checklist

before / after journeys.

almost no species existing in the country e.g. sheep in Poland) and all

groups of participants
