Abstract: 

The aim of the project is to provide teachers and students with knowledge, skills and understanding about sustainable agriculture and green entrepreneurship required for the new generation workforce, through learning contents and digital learning tools, and to create opportunities for direct participation or green entrepreneurial actions in solving local/national challenges within the scope of this subject.

Objectives of the project:

• To provide knowledge, skills and understanding about green (sustainable) agriculture to teachers and students who live far from the soil in urban centres and who do not receive vocational agricultural training in line with a curriculum, 
• To develop the skills that students can transform creative ideas into green entrepreneurial actions, 
• To create an open educational resource (OER) that will include all digital content and materials prepared by field experts and students, thus contributing to digital transformation by involving educators and students in the process of non-formal and online learning, 
• To contribute to increasing students’ interest in science by enabling them to establish a relationship with STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines, including data collection and analysis, problem solving and critical thinking while seeking solutions to real life problems, 
• To enable students to become responsible citizens who are actively engaged in their communities and the world through social and green innovation competitions (idea and project competitions, etc.) in the field of sustainable agriculture within the scope of combating climate change, 
• To enable partner organisations to increase their institutional capacities within the scope of combating climate change by acting nationally, internationally and intersectorally with intensive cooperation, to improve their risk management skills with the experience they have gained in the process, to expand their communication networks in the context of Erasmus + projects by being aware of the institutions working in the field in Europe and their work.
