"There is no story without a wine, a work of art without the smell of typical food products, music without the aroma of a story.The Buds Budding Mobility Plus project has strengthened the collaboration between the IVF systems in Southern Tuscany, connected to the three Technical Professional Poles ""Agribusiness and cultural heritage"" of the areas of Grosseto, Siena and Arezzo, pursuing objectives dictated by the Europe 2020 strategy that aims to re-launch the EU economy in the next decade in a smart, sustainable and inclusive manner. The excellence of agribusiness in Tuscany, which are part of the very image of Tuscany in the world, and the valorisation strategies put in place by the territories, are in fact a way of how we can achieve them. In Tuscany indeed Quality, traceability and certifications, enhancement of typical and local productions are cornerstones of the economic and social development of our territories, they constitute a renewed employment lever for young people who have a growing desire and energy to reinterpret the traditions and riches of the territory keeping a firm sustainable growth model inherent in our culture, which finds further confirmation in the green economy. BBuM + has in fact developed actions to apply THE GREEN CONCEPT IN AGRIBUSINESS IN CONNECTION TO THE EUROPEAN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS.As indicated in the candidacy, we organized 90 mobility for students and 31 mobility for new graduates from all the already identified Technical and Professional Institutes that have implemented a personal and professional growth path useful for their employability.The structure of the project was this:- information actions and meetings with young people and families;- selection of recipients and their psycho-pedagogical and linguistic preparation (through the OLS platform);- experience and training / internship abroad in SMEs in Spain, Malta, France, Germany, Portugal, UK;- return to Italy and transparency / recognition of skills, knowledge and skills, also acquired as a training credit;- sharing of results with the territory and businesses.Students' experiences were configured as an alternation between school and work, while the experiences of newly graduated students have in fact anticipated the introduction of ErasmusPro, having a duration of over three months and being essentially oriented towards the employment of young people. Output competences have been identified with the Chambers of Commerce and partnership companies, taking care to enhance cross-cutting aspects of local development sustainability:- INNOVATIVE TECHNICAL-PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AGRICULTURE, AGRO-FOOD and TOURISM / CULTURAL HERITAGE SECTOR- GREEN SKILLS in reference to the agri-food / agribusiness sectors- KEY COMPETENCES for lifelong learning.BBuM + has thus contributed to responding to the competitiveness and internationalization needs of our businesses and, at the same time, offered young people tools to grow as individuals and enter the world of work with better prospects and with a portfolio of experiences and validated competences that are clear and recognizable, readable in the context of education, training and work. We have indeed identified, described and evaluated the learning outputs in harmony with the EU Recommendations, in particular EQF and ECVET.The objectives fully achieved by BBuM +, the very few deviations recorded with the design phase, have shown a stability and continuity over time of the Leonardo da Vinci and Erasmus Plus projects carried out by the Province of Grosseto in synergy with the other two provinces of Southern Tuscany, Arezzo and Siena, and with the local Chambers of Commerce. The effects of the successful outcome of the project go on beyond the term of the Convention, they represent consolidated results achieved through a continuous work of the leader with schools, companies, institutions. We have acquired a 'habit' in considering transnational educational experiences as an integral part of the growth of our young people and their qualification pathways, an indispensable enrichment to foster the competitiveness of Tuscan agribusiness businesses and production chains.We are now so aware of the benefits that Erasmus + brings, that this project has constituted a key turning point in setting ourselves more structured and systemic objectives in the logic of a better European development plan and of the request of the VET Charter for the part that concerns precisely the professional training in European learning contexts."

EYES, EARS, PALATES, NOSTRILS ARE THE UNIVERSAL TARGETs OF THAT EMOTIONS RADIATED FORM OUR LANDS. THEY REPRESENT OUR OWN FLAGSHIP IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE EU2020 OBJECTIVES.The project was born in the wake of an active cooperation in the field of agribusiness within South Tuscany, that was also strengthened by the creation of three Professional-Technical High Schools (PTS) in the provinces of Grosseto, Siena, Arezzo. It represents a bridge towards the renovated regional vocational education and training system (IeFP), which complies with the integrated planning of the educational offer: hence, it has favoured the application of the ITS Higher Technical Institute “MADE IN ITALY - AGRI-FOOD SYSTEM” by the Agricultural-Technical Institute “Leopoldo II di Lorena” of Grosseto.The agri-food system is at the centre of an increasing interest due to the upcoming Expo 2015, which is hoped to focus the world’s attention on our way of living and eating respecting our territory. ISTAT and IRPET-ARSIA data demonstrate that in Tuscany agriculture is not just an activity shaping the landscape and creating that picture postcard so widespread and popular all over the world. Agriculture represents, above all, the labour, skills and ingenuity of about 90 thousand businesses giving life, through their activities, to an extraordinary mix of tradition and innovation that looks at sustainability as a cornerstone of development.QUALITY, then TRACEABILITY and CERTIFICATION, ENHANCEMENT of typical and local products represent our history: they stand out as the cornerstones of economic and social development of our territories. They also represent a new employment sector for young people, who show an increasing desire and energy of reinterpreting the traditions and resources of their territory.The members of the PTS and ITS, businesses, professional associations (of the Chambers of Commerce), schools, universities, Public Administrations, all of them strongly believe in the importance of young people’s training in transnational contexts, in order to give them more employment opportunities, to facilitate their empowerment, to help them becoming aware and active UE citizens and workers.BBuM aims at enabling young people to closely observe the world of work and to experience it from within in an international environment, both for educational and information purposes with respect to their professional future.Today, we aim at guiding the choice of business / territorial areas where the mobility experiences will take place, by trying to meet the territory’s needs as well as the request of the receiving sectors.Specific surveys have been carried out along with the social partners and the data resulting from previous professional and training needs surveys had been taken into account too. This transnational action will be characterized by innovative and cross features as:- INNOVATIVE TECHNICAL-PROFESSIONAL SKILLS for FOOD INDUSTRY and TOURISM / CULTURAL HERITAGE- Support and DEVELOPMENT OF KEY COMPETENCES for lifelong learning- Support and specific attention to YOUNG PEOPLE WITH FEWER OPPORTUNITIES and / or at risk of exclusion- ACQUIRED SKILLS RECOGNITION through reconstruction, description and validation in compliance with UE Recommendations, in particular EQF, EQAVET and ECVETEach school / curriculum involved will be associated with learning experiences representing education and / or training credits, that will provide the young with at least one specific skill / performance among those identified in the regional Directory of Professional Figures, or in the national partners directories, in order to create new skills suitable for the local and European labour market.We must start from young people, as thanks to BBuM they will have equal opportunities for personal and professional growth, thanks to a thorough linguistic and cultural knowledge of their destination country. Moreover, they will have the great opportunity to make a 30 days (students) or a 3 months (high school graduates and graduates) working experience in SMEs of the UE. They will be able to develop those life skills which are essential to become real UE citizens and which will facilitate their entry into the world of work.Therefore, BBuM complies with Youth Guarantee’s objectives, it meets the needs of competitiveness and internationalization of our businesses. It also offers young people useful tools to grow as individuals and to enter the world of work with better prospects as well as a wide range of validated experiences and skills which are also clear, recognizable and readable in the contexts of education, training and work.The participants’ countries of destination are: Spain, the Netherlands, Malta, United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal.
