The partners will deploy intensive efforts to mobilize the representatives of the agricultural sector and those of construction industry to work together in identifying alternative methods to valorize the agricultural products, developing thus new markets for this sector. The project will increase the empoyability especially of the population from the rural area, by providing trainings which can be valorized within their communities (sheep shearing, ropelaving) Moreover, the project will increase the productivity of the people involved in agricultural activities, by providing them training opportunities in IT literacy, but also by providing access to elearning courses which will increase their capacity to manage an agricultural farm.
