<< Background >>For decades, rural areas and smaller industrial cities in Europe have been experiencing the outmigration of young people and ageing of the population, leading to stagnation in regional development, social polarization, impoverishment, underutilized public infrastructure and a negative image of these areas. Since the economic crisis of 2008, intra-EU migration has intensified, and many young people have moved to larger urban areas in search of better opportunities.NEW SOLUTIONS NEEDED FOR THE WORLD AFTER COVID-19At the same time, due to the digitalization of jobs and the emergence of new industries (digital content creation, digital marketing, online sales ...), a different trend began – an increase in remote work, significantly increased during the COVID-19 epidemic. At the same time, the related trend of digital nomadism has started. Thanks to modern technology, young freelancers can work anywhere in the world and move freely between non-metropolitan areas. As many as 42% of digital nomads are between 25 and 40 years old. Our survey with 30 digital nomads included shows that they lack local community engagement during their stay. As strong community connections characterize rural communities, these areas can be an ideal location for (digital) work and the living of digital nomads. Skilled and high-quality youth work could therefore provide positive effects for both digital nomads and local youth. Consequentially, the development of new opportunities for young people in rural areas would prevent outmigration and encourage the immigration of young and modern Europeans to rural areas. DIGITAL NOMADISM - THE FUTURE OF YOUTH WORKDigital nomadism can positively impact rural areas, as it contributes to the immigration of young creative individuals. By improving public services (e. g., coworking spaces) and contributing to a more prosperous social life and multicultural dialogue, they can encourage diversity and tolerance and empower young people in rural areas.The project Nomadland relates to the European Youth Goals, particularly the sixth goal, Moving Rural Youth Forward. It focuses on the decentralization of activities (youth work), the development of the rural youth work and improving the image of the countryside. By emphasising cultural heritage, it also focuses on rural traditions. The need for quality youth work in rural areas is also stressed in the Council of the European Union statement. Youth work can help reduce the gap between rural and urban centres and develop new opportunities in the local environment. Our project follows the statement by recognizing interdisciplinary thinking for the youth policies development and participation of young people in decision-making (Raising opportunities for Young People in Rural and Remote Areas, 2020). The project brings together partners aware of the outmigration of young people from rural areas and actively looking for new solutions. In the project, we combine our knowledge and skills. Each rural area where we lead our activities (Idrija - Slovenia, Iž and Gračac - Croatia, Cuenca – Spain, Odenwald - Germany) is different, but all have a common challenge - the outmigration of young people. By following an international approach, we will contribute to the development of digital nomadism in rural areas and positively impact youth work. Each partner will focus on the target groups in the regions it covers with the project results providing wider effects for other rural areas in Europe.<< Objectives >>The Nomadland project will: - explore how digital nomadism can provide a positive impact on the development of youth work and young people's personal and professional development in rural and peripheral areas (including smaller towns) (within the IO1 and IO2; E5); - develop the first guide to help youth workers and decision-makers in providing conditions for attracting digital nomads to rural areas (IO2) - present the countryside as an innovative, multicultural area with many new opportunities for young people (IO3) - raise awareness of remote work in rural areas as a possible response to the outmigration of young people (all intellectual results) - address the digital transformation of rural areas (IO2, E5) - bring together young people, decision-makers, and youth workers to provide new ideas for the local community (E1-E4). A STRONG LOCAL COMMUNITY IS IMPORTANT IN RURAL AREASOur survey confirmed that digital nomads lack engagement in the local community, which contrasts with the strong community typical for rural areas. Focusing youth work on attracting digital nomads by developing appropriate infrastructure in rural areas could be an important trigger point for rural communities. The project addresses completely new areas of the youth work development in rural areas. By focusing the project work on young people, decision-makers, and youth workers in rural areas, the project will also impact other rural areas.EUROPE NEEDS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH We expect the project to have a greater impact in Europe as it provides an interdisciplinary and fresh perspective on rural youth work. The project plans to improve the quality of youth work and increase opportunities for young people in rural areas, promote a multicultural approach and support new entrepreneurial ideas within rural communities. The concepts of remote work and digital nomadism go beyond existing policies (economic development, youth policies, demographic development, housing, regional branding, public participation, sustainable tourism).<< Implementation >>The project will provide many activities orientated towards rural areas. Activities for young people, youth workers, and decision-makers in rural areas and smaller towns will be at the forefront.THE OUTMIGRATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE FROM RURAL AREAS SHOULD STOPOur project focuses on the challenge of the outmigration of young people from rural areas. It aims to establish a supportive environment to attract young digital nomads (or more broadly urban people) to rural areas. One of the main target groups of the activities are youth workers who will get the first comprehensive overview of digital nomadism and recognize the importance of digital nomadism for developing youth work in rural areas. The activities will be aimed and also include young people in rural areas who will, through the project, work on the broadening of the multicultural perspective - both through intellectual outputs and multiplier events. Throughout the project, we will develop a special Peer2Peer working group consisting of young people who will offer regular feedback. A DIGITAL HANDBOOK FOR YOUTH WORKERS AND DECISION-MAKERSAll activities that will be developed through the project are interconnected. The project partners will develop a handy digital handbook (IO1) introducing digital nomadism, stories of 10 digital nomads and an overview of good practices in attracting nomads to rural areas.RURAL AREAS NEED NEW IDEAS - A GUIDEBOOK ON HOW TO ATTRACT DIGITAL NOMADSBased on the IO1 brochure, we will start preparing the first guidebook for attracting digital nomads to rural areas (IO2), presenting individual challenges and advantages linked with financial opportunities. We will also provide a 3-day TRAINING FOR YOUTH WORKERS, where selected youth workers will actively co-design a strategy for attracting digital nomads in rural areas, and at the same time, learn how to provide a supportive environment for digital nomads.GREEN AND ACTIVE FUTUREAll activities will promote green measures that are important in developing rural areas and focus on an active lifestyle. We will organize 5 multiplier events - 4 in partner areas and 1 on the pan-European level, which will focus on developing new ideas for rural areas with one common goal – to increase the development of the rural regions. Not only will the regional events focus on presenting the results, but they will also generate new ideas by starting a co-designing process that will involve young people, youth workers and decision-makers in rural areas. The final events will ensure that the project's impact will last even after the end of the project. We will seek ideas that will attract digital nomads in the rural area and focus on inclusion and green solutions for the rural areas.A PLATFORM REPRESENTING THE RURAL AREA IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUNG PEOPLEThroughout the Nomadland project, we will develop the IO3 online platform where attractive and inspiring stories of the rural areas will be presented, focusing on stories of young people from the countryside. A platform will be presented at a special multiplier online event, E5, aimed at the rural youth workers across Europe.INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION NEEDEDThe cooperation of partners will be essential for the overall success of the project. Therefore, we will organize 2 transnational meetings focusing on planning intellectual results, review of work on activities, and dissemination. As all 4 project partners work daily on the solutions for rural areas, we will present all outputs in the areas where we operate - Odenwald (Germany), Idrija (Slovenia), Gračac and Iž (Croatia), and Cuenca (Spain). With a rich partner network and strong support from local areas, we expect the project to achieve strong visibility (dissemination) in all 4 countries and create an impact on the European level.<< Results >>The Nomadland project brings forward the challenges of the rural area and tackles them in a completely new, innovative way. Throughout the project, we will promote the development of a supportive environment for attracting digital nomads to rural areas. As it will provide an entirely new way of thinking, the project will impact rural areas across Europe, fighting against the outmigration of young people from rural areas.Within the project we will develop 4 main intellectual results:1. IO1: Review of good practices for attracting digital nomadsAs part of the IO1, we will provide insight into organisations and people who see rural areas as an inspiring environment for young people by providing an infrastructure to attract digital nomads. We want IO1 to be inspiring for anyone looking for new ideas in the rural area. It will be aimed at decision-makers, researchers, youth workers and all others aware of the issue of out-migration of young people from rural areas.We will explore the field of digital nomadism - who are digital nomads and why they are important for rural area development. We will provide an overview of the good practices of organisations and people attracting digital nomads to rural areas across Europe and the world. The second part will present 10 stories of digital nomads who chose the countryside as their place to live. The handbook will be published in English and available in digital form, which means that it will be quickly accessible to researchers, decision-makers, and youth workers in the youth policy field. 2. IO2: A guidebook for the development of digital nomadism in rural areas with a focus on youth workThe IO2 will start where IO1 will finish. It will be a first guidebook that will focus on providing infrastructure and environment for digital nomads in rural areas, especially in areas where apathy, youth outmigration and population ageing are prevalent.The guide will be aimed at youth workers, decision-makers, tourism workers and others interested in the new solutions for rural areas. It will be designed in a way to be relevant also for other rural areas across Europe.Those interested in the youth sector and beyond will be guided through the necessary conditions to attract digital nomads to a particular local rural area. We do not want to emphasise the theoretical content but highlight the practical side with stories and interactive elements. A young narrator will guide readers through the guide (aged 20-30), making the guidebook much more immersive and interactive. 3. IO3: A platform for attracting digital nomads to rural areasThe platform will be an important part of the project and an essential part of the project dissemination. It will be developed throughout the project, showing positive sides of the rural area. It will be a part of the project website and will also present the project.Through the platform, we will present the benefits of living in rural areas to digital nomads and all those who are tempted by rural life. In particular, we will highlight by video interviews the stories of young people (at least 20) who see the countryside and smaller towns as opportunities for personal and professional development. By focusing on attracting digital nomads (in this case, we are also targeting the urban population), the platform will provide an active response to the outmigration of young people from rural areas.WE WILL LOOK FOR NEW IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE OF RURAL AREASIn addition to the 3 intellectual outputs of the project, the project also puts a lot of attention to multiplier events, where partners will present results and seek new ideas for the rural area. At the multiplier events, young people, decision-makers, youth workers and digital nomads will create at least 20 new ideas that can become new solutions for modern, innovative rural areas focusing on young people. The project will also bring attention to building bridges between the existing population and newcomers, an

Most young people pass successfully through to adulthood and deal well with the challenges involved in growing up. However, for a critical minority, adolescence is a time when serious problems emerge or earlier difficulties escalate. They may have difficulties at school, lack good role models or the resilience to deal with new pressures or risks. Maybe they were confronted with alienation from a part of the population and experienced discrimination and open or hidden racism. Since they do not see positive social and professional perspectives, a raising number succumbs to the false promises of extremist ideologies, such as Neo-Nazi groups or the „Islamic State“.The consequences of not getting support can be very serious. „The best prevention is to stop people from getting involved in violent extremist or terrorist activities in the first place, or to convince them to turn away from such ideas and methods.... The people best placed to tackle the phenomenon of radicalisation are the so called first-liners – people in direct contact with targeted individuals or vulnerable groups of population“ (Radicalisation Awareness Network of the European Commission). These „first-liners“ need therefore new skills and competences to be better prepared to deal with intercultural tensions between diverse groups of learners and detect, at an early stage, indicators of radicalisation among their learners. However, many of them have had their vocational education years ago, and many of them are completely or partially unprepared to the changes in the way in which our society is organized and which conceptual aspects of radicalisation pose a threat. We will raise their awareness and identify initiatives, best practice examples and tools that help them do their work better, for example, to help find out who is at risk and the best way of helping people who need support. What tools and methods are available and most effective to provide this support? Who has undergone traumatic experience and shows a behaviour that is a consequence of post-traumatic stress disorder? How can a teacher detect such symptoms? The overall objectives are to identify and collect evidence-based approaches, initiatives, programmes and methods that show how to•make youth and vocational counselling services more attractive and to contribute to de-radicalisation.•counteract the negative effects of alienation that occurs frequently to adolescents and which often prepares the path to join groups with extreme ideologies, be it Neo-Nazi, the Islamic State or other terrorist movements•encourage young people to think critically about extremist messages•provide vocational teachers and counsellors with best practice about effective tools and methods, in order to help them do their work betterIn order to reach this objective, the specific objectives are1)To implement an e-platform with an interactive database, searchable after various parameters, that describes and gives access to initiatives, tools and methods and other materials that have been identified and collected in the course of the project, concerning awareness raising, training activities and didactic tools combating radicalisation that can be used by vocational teachers, trainers and counsellors. The database will have explanations in the languages of the partnership. 2)To elaborate a Catalogue “Prevention of Youth Radicalisation in Practice” which will give an overview about the current situation of the specific project environment in the partners’ countries, i.e. provide effective support to help vulnerable young people and to prevent them from being drawn into terrorist organisations and movements. It will be enriched with the outcomes of the transnational meetings of the four meetings in each partner country where experts from the respective national and local vocational counselling organisations will discuss these issues with the representatives of our strategic partnership. 3)To organise an online interactive Forum for exchange of experience and good practice that will promote networking and exchange activities not only among the partnership and VET13 organisations in their countries, but also on a European level. With new translation services, it will become possible to break down language barriers between users from different countries, and to foster exchange and assist initiatives that contribute to the European society as a whole.The target groups for our project are vocational teachers and counsellors. They will participate at the transnational partnership meetings for exchange of experience and/or receive information and best practice how to support vulnerable young people and to prevent them from being drawn into terrorist organisations and movements. The final beneficiaries are young people who are experiencing difficulties, especially NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) who do not see positive social and professional perspectives.

One of the four common EU objectives of the Education and training 2020 (ET 2020) framework to address challenges in education and training systems by 2020 is to enhance creativity and innovation, including entrepreneurship, at all levels of education and training.In the past years, more than one million refugees have come to Europe, and the influx will continue also in the years to come. Apart from political questions concerning their distribution, the most urgent aspects are their integration into our society and their employment. A refugee entrepreneur, like any entrepreneur, brings many potential benefits to the host community. First of all, an entrepreneur creates at least one job for her-/himself. In addition they can employ other refugees and/or host country nationals. The kind of businesses opened by refugees often reflect innovative solutions to local problems and are therefore more effective at addressing the needs of specific target groups than large, donor-driven programmes. Having a (social) enterprise can also help to create normality in a difficult surrounding. Providing familiar food or wedding dresses not only brings employment, but also ways to unite communities, preserve traditions and a sense of normality. Overall, it can be said that entrepreneurship improves the psychological well-being of individuals and the overall atmosphere.Becoming an entrepreneur is always a challenge and often not the most obvious choice for a refugee. He/she needs, above all, information provision, networking (with both other refugees/migrants and members of the host community), mentoring, training, and finally also investment and funding. All of these are equally relevant in the refugee context.Therefore, the overall objective of our strategic partnership is to provide an overview about projects, initiatives and methods which train, support and facilitate entrepreneurship for immigrants, and in particular for women.In order to reach this objective, the specific objectives are1)To implement an e-platform with an interactive database, searchable after various parameters, that describes and gives access to initiatives, tools and methods and other materials that have been identified and collected in the course of the project, concerning market conditions, policies, administrational settings, entrepreneurship skills and support programmes for immigrant entrepreneurs, in particular women, as well as how to train skills and knowledge to generate creative ideas especially in IT based business. . The database will have explanations in the languages of the partnership.2)To elaborate a Catalogue “Supports for Refugee Entrepreneurs” which will give an overview about the current situation of the specific project environment in the partners’ countries. It will be enriched with the outcomes of the transnational meetings of the four meetings in each partner country where experts from the respective national and local vocational counselling organisations will discuss these issues with the representatives of our strategic partnership. 3)To organise an online interactive Forum for exchange of experience and good practice that will promote networking and exchange activities not only among the partnership and VET organisations in their countries, but also on a European level. With new translation services, it will become possible to break down language barriers between users from different countries, and to foster exchange and assist initiatives that contribute to the European society as a whole.The target group of our project are VET and adult education trainers and organisations that will make use of the identified and selected materials to design and offer respective measures for refugees who want to become entrepreneurs.

Digitization is increasingly shaping the world of work. While computerisation has until recently been confined to routine tasks involving explicit rule-based activities, algorithms for big data are now rapidly entering domains reliant upon pattern recognition and can readily substitute for labour in a wide range of non-routine cognitive tasks. Advanced robots are gaining enhanced senses and dexterity, allowing them to perform a broader scope of manual tasks. This will change the nature of work across industries and occupations.A recent study (The Future Of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs To Computerisation, Oxford 2013) estimated the probability of computerisation for 700 occupations, and examined the impacts of future computerisation on the labour market. According to their estimate, 47 percent of total employment is in the high risk category, and many occupations are potentially automatable over the next decade or two.This means that most workers in transportation, logistics and in production are likely to be substituted by computers, as industrial robots are taking on the routine tasks of most operations.But also, many office support professions are endangered. Here, algorithms for big data are already rapidly entering domains that deal with storing or accessing information, making it probable that office and administrative support occupations will be subject to computerisation.More surprising is that also a substantial share of employment in services and sales will become the victim of computerisation in the near future. These findings are largely in line with recent documented technological developments including interactive tasks. and will concern, for example, cashiers, counter and rental clerks, or telemarketers. By taking this development into consideration, it becomes evident that employers will put more emphasis on basic and transversal competences and on creative and social skillsTherefore, the overall objective of our project is to raise awareness about these developments, and how this will require continuous skill adaptations, especially on personal competences and soft skills. Our aim is to inform people working in the labour market service and in vocational orientation and education about successful initiatives and methods for training, developing and self- improvement of personal skills, and for evaluating and assessing personal development and competences. In order to reach this objective, the specific objectives are1)To implement an e-platform with an interactive database, searchable after various parameters, that describes and gives access to initiatives, tools and methods and other materials that have been identified and collected in the course of the project, concerning the development and self- improvement of personal skills and competences and their evaluation and assessment. 2)To elaborate a Catalogue “Skills and Competences for Work in Industry 4.0” which will give an overview about the current situation of the specific project environment in the partners’ countries. It will be enriched with the outcomes of the transnational meetings of the four meetings in each partner country where experts from the respective national and local labour market and vocational counselling organisations will discuss these issues with the representatives of our strategic partnership. 3)To organise an online interactive Forum for exchange of experience and good practice that will promote networking and exchange activities not only among the partnership and VET organisations in their countries, but also on a European level. With new translation services, it will become possible to break down language barriers between users from different countries, and to foster exchange and assist initiatives that contribute to the European society as a whole.The target group of our project are VET and adult education trainers and labour market policy organisations that will make use of the identified and selected materials to design and offer respective measures for adults who need to adapt their skills and personal competences to the needs of the 21st century labour market.

<< Background >>Digitization is increasingly shaping the world of work. While computerisation has until recently been confined to routine tasks involving explicit rule-based activities, algorithms for digitalisation are now rapidly entering domains reliant upon smart data handling and can readily substitute for labour in a wide range of non-routine cognitive tasks. This will change the nature of work across industries and occupations. In the field of agriculture digitization, digital transformation is gaining momentum: already back in 2015, 30 percent of all value created with agricultural machinery worldwide came from software, electronics and sensors, surpassing the value created in the automotive industry three times over. According to a recent study (Saiz-Rubio, V., and Rovira-Más, F. - 2020), it is essential for farmers and for the environment that processes are adapted to a digital technology concept, because innovative processes can potentially lead to efficient and resource-friendly sustainable farming. Rapid developments in the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, robotics and Artificial Intelligence are accelerating the transition to smart farming and the promotion of big data and precision agriculture to improve agri-food sustainability. The expectation is that smart farming approaches will ultimately improve knowledge on enterprise and human resource level via efficient sharing and learning from data from multiple enterprises (Robertson, M., Moore, A., Henry, D., and Barry, S. – 2018 https://blog.csiro.au/digital-agriculture-whats-all-the-fuss-about/).However, although this “fourth agricultural revolution” brings the promise of multiple gains, it also brings technical, social, economic, ethical and practical questions, with significant implications for how commercial agriculture is structured, practiced and governed. It also becomes evident that employers and employees in the agricultural sector will put more emphasis on basic and transversal competences and on creative and social skills. Therefore, the overall objective of AgriSkills is to raise awareness about these developments, and how this will require continuous skill adaptations, especially on personal competences and soft skills. Our aim is to train people working in the agricultural labour market service and in VET about successfully implemented innovations in digital farming (e.g., smart farming and precision farming) and consequently focus on initiatives and methods for training, developing and self-improvement of personal skills, and for evaluating and assessing personal development and competences.<< Objectives >>The AgriSkills project aims to strengthen the sustainable development in rural areas at regional level in Europe contributing to turn the European rural area agriculture into a learning environment for entrepreneurial skills and innovation. The overall objective of the project is to showcase and communicate innovative engagements and approaches in the agriculture-specific production and services, putting a specific focus on the training and education needs of our target groups such as•Individuals with interest to develop business entities and live in the rural areas; •SMEs and micro companies in rural areas;•Regional agencies for rural areas development; and the •General public Entrepreneurship and innovation are a key competence that contributes to the regional development. In this context, our target groups benefit from a focus on eco-innovation solutions such as sustainable innovation methods and applications as well as from the shift of labour-oriented work forces to knowledge-oriented work forces. AgriSkills will involve partners from regions with different level of development of innovation policies and entrepreneurism. Moreover, AgriSkills will promote consolidation of existing cooperation between regional authorities of participating regions or to the development and establishment of new regional partnerships. These partnerships should act as a first step for organisations into cooperation at European level to•Support the inclusion of target groups with fewer opportunities;•Increasing quality in the work and practices of the organisations and institutions involved, opening up to new actors not naturally included within the agriculture sector;•Building capacity of organisations to work transnationally and even across sectors;•Addressing common needs and priorities in the fields of education, training, youth and sport.Thus, enabling transformation and change, leading to improvements at individual, organizational or sectoral level.<< Implementation >>In order to reach AgriSkills objectives, the project consortium will implement:AgriSkills Modular Training Course (IO1):The learning and training program is developed in a digitally supported scheme containing 5 interactive learning modules, which guide the learners through the whole process in an easy–to-understand-and-to manage way. Based on initial research about the needs of the project’s target groups, initial topics of the modules are defined. As an entrance to the topics’ definition within the training course, a research will be conducted to understand and verify the exact needs A testing phase will complement the development process. As a result, IO1 will be comprehensive, wide-ranged learning program based on the real needs of the learners. AgriSkills e-Learning Platform (IO2):It will be organized as an online and offline training enabler. It will be used as a virtual learning environment where our target groups as users will be able to find the training materials and to participate in learning activities. The learners can use assessment tools and communicate with trainers or other learners. Furthermore, the online platform will provide link(s) to the project’s website that will provide all background information related to the project progress, the project results, the partners and the funding agency. As a result, the e-platform will provide easy open access for all potential learners and will add value to the training course as networking and collaboration between the learners. AgriSkills Reference Catalogue (IO3):The result will be a well elaborated and published catalogue with collected good practices references for all stakeholders acting in the farming area. It will assist applying the required skills and competences for digital transformation of their activities. It will showcase development of innovative value-chains and connectivity with the other regions on national and international level, giving an overview about the current situation of the specific project environment in the partners’ countries. The references will be contributed by the project partners but also by VET providers and innovation support advisors. As a result, the Catalogue as well as its individual good practices will be widely disseminated and additionally will promote the training course of IO1 and the e-learning platform of IO2.(For a detailed description, please refer to the Output section)<< Results >>Further outcomes of the project include: a)The project website linking to the e-learning platform, searchable after various parameters, that describe and give access to innovative initiatives, tools and methods and other materials that have been identified and collected in the course of the project, concerning the development and self- improvement of personal skills and competences and their evaluation and assessment. b)Newsletters will inform interested parties and all stakeholders about the project, its milestones, and current activities. They will be published in electronic versions, as well as in paper form that will be used for the various dissemination activities. The newsletters will be produced in the languages of the partnership. c)Flyers. The project will produce flyers in each language of the partnership. They will be distributed at meetings with stakeholders and VET organisations and will mainly serve as entry point to obtain further information within the project’s blog.d)An online Interactive AgriSkills Forum will be implemented in a Social Media channel, for exchange of experience and good practice that will promote networking and exchange activities not only among the partnership and VET organisations in their countries, but also on a European level. With new translation services, it will become possible to break down language barriers between users from different countries, and to foster exchange and assist initiatives that contribute to the European society as a whole.Intangible results will be personal and professional enrichment not only for the direct stakeholders in agriculture but also for vocational VET educators and counsellors and agricultural labour market service experts, who will participate to the project events. This will lead to:•Sharing experience; •Establishing closer co-operation between rural areas in European regions;•Learning from each other in the area of horizontal and vertical integration of technologies in agriculture and their impact on human resources and work forces; •Development of opportunities for regional stakeholders (companies, research institutes, universities) within and between the regional agencies, with a special focus in fostering the business of local SME and micro-companies;•Good practice guideline for agriculture stakeholders for business development and its specifics in rural areas;•Guideline for regional authorities and regional rural development agencies in supporting VET measures in digitalising agriculture in the region that can be implemented into the regional strategies and plans;•Increased awareness of the role of agriculture in promoting social inclusion, equal opportunities and a healthy lifestyle; and•Good practices, methods techniques and processes identified in the innovation support policy.Digital Agriculture can provide its stakeholders with vast advantages over their competitors. Whether an organisation is further along in its digitisation journey or still in its nascent beginnings, there is a real need to help decision makers making the digital transformation learnable, actionable and scalable. With AgriSkills we want to cut through the clutter and provide a pragmatic roadmap to learning and training execution.
