We are thrilled to introduce the Smart Skills project, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at enhancing digital literacy and promoting innovative practices within the EU’s agricultural sector. This project is in direct response to the urgent need for sustainable practices to combat climate change, achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and support rural sustainability.
Our Mission
The Smart Skills project addresses the cultural and vocational barriers to digital adoption in agriculture. By evaluating and sharing the best practices in digital technologies, we aim to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of small and family farms across Europe. Our mission is to ensure that farmers and rural workers have the skills and technology needed for both immediate and long-term sustainability.
Key Objectives
- SMART Kit of Digital Skills and Knowledge: This toolkit offers practical applications and simulations, complemented by Open Educational Resources (OER), to help farmers implement smart farming technologies effectively.
- SMART SKILLS Digital Learning Platform: Designed for microlearning, this platform offers flexible training modules that fit into the busy lives of farmers, ensuring effective learning and implementation.
- SMART SKILLS 'Train the Trainer' Programme: This programme aims to equip national rural developers with the skills to train others, creating a ripple effect that ensures widespread knowledge dissemination.
