A new step in our commitment to and European cooperation 🇪🇺

🌟 At , we're proud to be part of the European Vocational Training Association - EVTA, a European network that brings together organisations working to strengthen and training.

This membership connects naturally with our work in two ways: through our projects, which contribute to improving vocational training, and through our training activities, where we share our experience in managing to support professional development across the sector 💡

One recent example was the CoVE Design Programme held in Granada, where we participated t as trainers and supported participants in shaping project ideas around Centres of Vocational Excellence.

Looking forward to continuing to exchange knowledge, build connections 🤝 and contribute to new opportunities in the sector!

🔙 Last week, the Persona Project reached one of those moments that brought its work into focus.

On 21 May, the partnership came together in Brussels 🇧🇪 for the last in-person consortium meeting, taking time to reflect on the project’s journey and consolidate the closing phase.

Later that day, the final conference “Farming the Future: Skills, Innovation and AI-Driven Learning for European Agriculture” took place at the 📍Permanent Representation of Portugal to the EU, bringing together policymakers, , and farming professionals to discuss the future of agricultural learning💡

💬 Our project manager, Iacopo Benedetti, presented the PERSONA Hybrid Human-AI personalised learning system and its pilot testing at the conference, showing how the project is exploring more flexible, learner-centred ways to support in agriculture.

👉 As the approaches its official end in July, it was a good opportunity to celebrate what has been achieved so far and look ahead to how the project can continue supporting educators, learners and agricultural professionals.

Some project endings feel more like a starting point 🚀

This week, we joined the AgriNext Project final conference in Córdoba 🇪🇸, hosted by our partners at IES Galileo Galilei, marking one of the project’s last shared milestones 🌟

The event highlighted AgriNext's contributions to strengthening skills, innovation, and entrepreneurship in , while connecting vocational education and training (VET) with the future of rural development 🌱

It was a meaningful opportunity to celebrate what we have achieved together, but also to look ahead at how the project’s learning opportunities, practical resources and digital platform can continue supporting learners, educators and rural communities across Europe 🇪🇺

If you haven’t come across it yet, now is a good time to explore the Platform and discover what it can offer 🔗 https://www.agri-next.eu/en/

🙌 We're grateful to have been part of this journey and to have contributed to a project that will keep creating value beyond its official end.

What an inspiring few days in Granada! ✨

Last week, our city became the meeting point for three days of learning, co-creation and knowledge sharing as part of the CoVE Design Programme, co-organised by and the European Vocational Training Association - EVTA.

Our project managers, Iacopo Benedetti and Jorge Contreras, joined the training team, guiding VET providers and ecosystem stakeholders through key aspects of design, from priorities to strategic partnerships and future opportunities 💡

It was especially rewarding to witness the many ideas that emerged through discussion 💬 and teamwork 🤝, driven by a shared ambition to develop meaningful projects.

🙌 A big thank you to , all the participants, and the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Granada (Universidad de Granada) for hosting us and helping make this such a valuable experience.

We look forward to seeing how these ideas continue to grow and, hopefully, become future 🇪🇺

A new space to learn, connect and exchange ideas around has grown from our shared work in the AgriNext Project ! 💻

As the project officially comes to an end this month, we’re proud to introduce the Platform: a European digital hub created to support learning, connection and innovation within the sector.

The platform offers training paths, knowledge resources, networking features and spaces for exchange, helping its community to develop future-ready and connect with others across the agricultural and rural ecosystem 💡

Whether you are looking to learn, collaborate, discover opportunities or exchange knowledge, this platform has been designed as a space where people involved in multifunctional agriculture can grow together 🤝

🧑‍🎓 Students and graduates
🚜 Farmers and rural entrepreneurs
🧑‍🏫 Educators, trainers and professionals

If you are part of the agricultural, or training sector, take a look at the AgriNext Platform and explore how it can help you learn, connect and be part of a European community shaping the future of multifunctional agriculture 🌐 https://www.agri-next.eu/en/

As an reaches its final stage, the focus shifts from delivering results to making sure they have a real impact beyond the project itself 🚀

This was very much the spirit of the 6th meeting, held in Oyonnax, France 🇫🇷, on 15 and 16 April. Our project manager, Jorge Contreras, attended the meeting, continuing the collaboration that has united and the Universidad de Jaén since the project began 🤝

Alongside the presentation of the project’s main achievements ✅, the meeting also hosted the third interregional networking session: a valuable opportunity for exchange between clusters, industrial stakeholders, and policymakers to discuss how solutions can be brought closer to market uptake, replication and scaling up across European regions 🇪🇺

As moves towards its final phase, we're glad to continue supporting the project in moving forward and creating the space for the conversations 💬 that matter most at this point — those that connect its results with practical opportunities, industrial needs and long-term impact 💡
