Foster the ecological transition of territories and communities through innovative training

Description

"In a global context of climate change, erosion of biodiversity and the over-exploitation of natural resources (with consequences for the food systems, the environment and the health) there is a range of international settlements available to support the eco-sustainable transition of the rural areas, promoting “alternative” models, like that of the “eco-regions”, to meet the global challenges of the XXI century. Among the main ones, for the purposes of the project, there are: the Convention on Biological Diversity, the UNFCCC and UNCCD conventions of the United Nations for a science-based adaptation strategy to climate change and desertification, the European Landscape Convention, the European Habitats Directive. Recently, the EU Commission calling for concrete action for the Planet, with the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Europe Plan. Furthermore, the EU aims to assure a high level of food safety and animal & plant health through coherent “Farm to Fork” measures and adequate monitoring, while ensuring an effective internal market. Also, the “Farm to Fork” will contribute to achieve the circular economy and the control on the safety of the Agri food chain.In Europe there are about one hundred eco-regions (source IN.N.E.R., 2020, www.ecoregion.info) already settled down, which have good perspectives of development but are at different stages of implementation. At this purpose it is of fundamental importance to create a common and co-shared baseline system of local policies and good practices besides common training methodologies for the local communities involved in these experiences.The target groups are the teachers and trainers of the Agri-VET, the actors of the territories (farmers, consumers, local administrators) and the professionals of the Agri-sector (entrepreneurs, technicians). The aim of this project is to develop and share a toolbox of training instruments useful for the actors within the eco-region experiences of Italy, France, Portugal and Spain, usable also in the rest of Europe and of the World (all the partners of the ""EducEcoRegions"" project are members of the ""Global Alliance for Organic Districts"", established on February 6, 2020 in Rome, with the signing of the MoU at the Ministry of Agriculture.This partnership shall provide a common baseline of methodologies and tools, enriched with very different examples in order to develop an innovative Teaching Tool Kit. The transition from uniformity to diversity profoundly modifies territorial development, research and training strategies, moving from a system that over-exploits resources in all its forms, to a logic of cooperation with nature that calls for designing development projects that respect the life and agriculture that puts in place productive and resilient technical pathways for each ecosystem.The two main objectives of the project are:-improve quality of continuous vocational training and facilitate the access, in order to promote and reinforce the contribution to the process of innovation, economic growth and social cohesion;-bring skills and competencies for people that are (or intend to be) involved in the eco-sustainable transition of the territories (i.e. Eco Regions), and that don’t have experience and knowledge in the area. The project includes 3 transnational meetings, 3 training of trainers, 4 dissemination events and 2 intellectual outputs:O1 - Report on Eco-Regions in Europe (coordinated by the Italian partner - Cilento Bio-district); it is a report divided into 2 parts:•O1-A1 Summary document, resulted by the aggregation of the 4 national inventories developed by the project partners, including: comparative state of eco-regions; summary of the brakes and levers for the creation of eco-regions according to 3 axes -public policy component (CAP, national/local policies), technical aspects (recognized scientific approaches and consequences on agricultural practices), training components;•O1-A2 Summary document including the common denominator of innovations and changes related to eco-regions and the related indicators. This step is based on the work carried out during the O1-A1 and it would be an opportunity to collectively build and propose an ""Eco-regions Charter"" that could serve as a support for the construction of new local experiences.O2 - Teaching Tool kit, consists of 3 tools:•O2-A1 Teaching tool on eco-regions as written support. •O2-A2 E-learning tool.•O2-A3 Educational tool as an audio-visual medium. It will reflect the diversity of approaches and experiences encountered in the form of portraits."
