Umbria region hosted second face-to-face meeting

The second face-to-face meeting of the Green Vineyards project took place last 23rd February in the Italian city of Perugia, hosted by CESAR (Centro per lo Sviluppo Agricolo e Rurale).

All partners attended the meeting, and had the opportunity to review all relevant aspects of the project, including the final revision of the Green Competences & Sustainable Practices for Wine Sector guide, in work package 1.

However, the partners spent much of their time designing the future work of work package 2, focusing on the contents of the training course. To this end, and led by IECE, a workshop was organised to determine the possible learning outcomes and plan the future curriculum.

In addition, participants had the privilege of visiting a local winery, CHIORRI, where they had the opportunity to learn about new sustainable production practices in situ.

Green competences for the wine sector

Through a survey, the Green Vineyards project seeks the help of wine sector stakeholders to develop a green competence framework.

Green Vineyards project aims to train workers in the wine sector to help them face the challenges of climate change. A just and sustainable society with a modern, resource-efficient, and competitive economy cannot be achieved without a workforce to support it. That is why it is necessary to provide personnel with the knowledge and skills inherent to green jobs and to ensure that industries and workplaces do not face a shortage of suitably qualified workers.

The first step to designing open, free, and accessible online training content is to identify the green competences needed and any knowledge gaps. For that purpose, the consortium has designed a survey aimed at wine sector stakeholders. The survey is available in 6 languages (English, French, German, Italian, Macedonian, and Spanish).Through this action, the project also seeks to identify sustainable good practices across Europe.

No matter if you are involved in the wine sector, you can help us by replying to this short survey until the 18th of November.

Green Vineyards is a project funded by the European Commission within the Erasmus+ programme framework. Coordinated by the Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR), through the Research Institute for Innovation & Technology in Education (UNIR iTED), is a cooperative partnership of six partners from five European countries.

Public presentation – GREEN VINEYARDS

Last 7th September 2022, The Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR) through its Institute for Research, Innovation and Educational Technology (UNIR iTED), host a public event to presentate Green Vineyards project to regional society.

The project, framed within the Erasmus+ programme, has a budget of 201,535 euros and a duration of 30 months. Daniel Burgos, director of the Institute for Research, Innovation and Educational Technologies (UNIR iTED) and coordinator of the project, has been in charge of presenting Green Vineyards at the UNIR Rectorate. The event was chaired by the rector of UNIR, José María Vázquez García-Peñuela.

Green Vineyards consists of a multidisciplinary team of six partners from Germany, Italy, France, North Macedonia and Spain, and its main objective is to increase the knowledge, skills and abilities of wine workers to meet the challenges of climate change.

The work to be carried out by the consortium links the environment, digitalisation and the agri- food sector, three of the European Commission’s priorities for the period 2021-2027. «Climate change is the biggest threat we face, and there is no doubt that its impact on the countryside is devastating. To achieve a fair and sustainable society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, it is necessary to have a workforce to support it. That is why it is essential to train workers with the skills requirements inherent to green jobs,» said Daniel Burgos.

«For UNIR, Green Vineyards is a unique opportunity backed by the European Commission to reintegrate all the support it continually shows to our university to the society of La Rioja, this time through the wine sector, and with a continental repercussion through major partners in four key countries, such as France, Italy, North Macedonia and Germany,» concluded Burgos.

Specifically, the consortium is formed by the International University of La Rioja (ES); the Institut Français de la vigne et du vin (FR), CeSAR, Centro per lo Sviluppo Agricolo e Rurale (IT); Private Scientific Institution (MKD); Institute for research in environment, civil engineering and energy (MKD); Federacion Española del Vino (ES); and Lake Constaza Foundation (DE).
