This project aims to strengthen digital literacy & the exchange of innovative practices across the EU’s Agro-sector. The initiative aligns with the pressing goals of combating climate change, meeting SDGs & promoting rural sustainability. Within our European partnership we will address cultural & vocational barriers to digital adoption in agriculture. Evaluate and share best practices in digital technologies in the Agro-sector and share our results openly across Europe as a way to spread the word and create increased impact.
The SMART SKILLS project actively contributes to sustainable rural development, fights against climate change, and addresses the unique challenges of the European agricultural labour market. It ensures that farmers and rural workers have access to the appropriate technology and skills, fulfilling both immediate labour market needs and longer-term sustainability goals.
A toolkit encapsulating digital skills and knowledge Good Practices for sustainable agriculture, complemented by Open Educational Resources (OER). Our toolkit is not just a set of guidelines; it's a hands-on manual packed with real-world applications, simulations, and OERs. This ensures farmers not only understand but can directly implement smart farming technologies.
Designed for a microlearning training system. In today's fast-paced world, flexibility in learning is key. Our Digital Learning Platform is designed to fit into the lives of busy farmers, offering microlearning modules that can be accessed at convenience. This results in not just learning but effective implementation.
The Train-the-Trainer programme does more than just teach; it ensures that knowledge spreads like wildfire. By focusing on rural developers as a dissemination point, we create a network of highly skilled individuals who can adapt the curriculum to local needs, causing a ripple effect that extends far beyond the immediate trainees.
