About this course

The Farm4SDTrain-the-Trainers programme ensures that VET educators are fully trained to harness the potential of the Farm4SD suite of resources (R2) to support farmers in building key hard and transversal high-value skill sets on the pillars of sustainable agriculture, entrepreneurship, funding opportunities and soft skills, so as to be able to apply them in their everyday work, to help raise public awareness regarding all the European initiatives and strategies about sustainability, and to support their peers and the society to follow a more green way of producing and consuming agricultural products, and not only. 

This Farm4SD Train-the-Trainers programme stresses the significance of working with non-traditional, participatory, community-based coworking and self-directed learning resources and on exploiting digital learning environments, as well as alternative VET methodologies and qualifications’ recognition and validation approaches - the updated ECVET and/or ECTS and micro-credentials - appropriate for a successful intervention focused on the needs of farmers.
