<< Background >>EU has recently introduced circular economy as a high-level global emerging strategy to move societies beyond the boundaries of existing development and towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) set by the UN 2030 agenda for sustainability. Thus, the concept of a circular economy emerges as a global strategy and as an overriding priority in the EU, to stimulate the transition from today's model of linear production and consumption economy to resource efficient use. Circular agriculture, as a new paradigm, penetrates every aspect of the agri-food sector, and furthermore, of the agricultural local communities, the rural landscapes, and semi-natural environment. The transition process towards circular agriculture, requires the implementation of a new management model which includes all the main stages of the agri-food system, such as the primary production, the food consumption, and the by-products and food waste. This new sustainable framework, viewed as a closed circle, sets the goal for a more efficient food supply chain, but also un update of the HE curricula at the Faculties of agriculture. The main concept of circular agriculture is the reuse into the agri-food system of the agricultural biomass and food processing residuals, as renewable resources with high added-value. Resource circulation, which is the core goal of circular economy, is the new proposed model for the future sustainable agriculture. This model should provide the flexibility to various company styles and earning types, without restrictions, to adapt to the required socio-economical and ecological transformation, by introducing a wide range of activities varying from intensive to extensive, small to large, and low-tech to hi-tech. But the transition to circular agriculture depends not only on technology and significant restructuring of production but it has a lot to do with the change in the attitudes and perspectives.SKILLS idea is grounded at the necessity to promote environmental sustainability, economic prosperity, and social equity as valid objectives of Circular Economy Model and to approach them accordingly in academic and practice.<< Objectives >>The main objective of the project is to contribute towards up-to-date skills development of the target beneficiaries ( students, potential students, ag producers) by introducing and promoting the concepts of Circular agriculture and Green Growth, as well as to boost the modernization of the curricula and introduce digital courses at the Faculties of agriculture by making them more attractive for the future students. It is very important that changes and upgrades of the agricultural HE curricula are made, because Faculties f agriculture are facing a decrease in the number of enrolled students per students due to the level of (non) attractiveness of the field of agriculture. On the side, this can be efficiently changed by raising awareness for the needs and potential of agriculture exp. during the pandemic time, the agricultural sector was among the rarest which survived because the production of food (including raw food-agriculture products has to continues regardless of everything). This opens perspectives for increased potential for employment after graduation, even more, professional occupations which are not just traditional agriculture, but new agricultural concepts like the circular agriculture and the green jobs. Additionally, SKILLS puts to opening employment opportunities and widening the perspectives of jobs in the green skills and CA by boosting the skills of the target group. Eventually, SKILLS project promotes the concept of Circular Agriculture as a sustainable, resilient branch. SKILLS consortium aims at enhancing and speeding up the awareness for Circular Agriculture through elaborating a Baseline study in typology and training material composed of practical know-how and a well structured set of tools, modules and digital courses that agricultural practitioners can go through and change their mindset and rethink their activities.<< Implementation >>In order to contribute to modernization at the programs and courses offered at the Faculties of Agriculture, as well as the promotion of the Circular Agriculture, SKILLS project planned a set of project activities as: project meetings, project results, dissemination, national webinars, E1 media event.All pProject activities are aimed at and tailored according to the needs of the target group such as students, ag producers, potential future students, policy makers, researchers, development practitioners, as well skilled as unskilled other members of vulnerable groups. For successful implementation of SKILLS project, the following concrete project activities are foreseen: 1) Organization of five transnational meetings for the project partners during which the project results will be elaborated, discussed, coordinated, and implemented. 2) 5 project results: PR1. Baseline study in typology of agricultural profilesPR2. Module in green skillsPR3. Agri-Lingua Practicum PR4. Tool-kit in agro-food productionPR5. Digital course in Circular Agriculture3) 10 national webinars (digital training) based on the project results outcomes 4) E1 media event which is planed as a large scale media event to promote the SKILLS project activities, Erasmus+ program and to provide for networking among stakeholders in circular agriculture, sustainability, , but also HE and representatives in the ministries of education who are in charge with the monitoring and upgrade of the courses curricula.<< Results >>Expected results are :1. Created Baseline study in agricultural typology (PR1);2. Developed digital course in green skills (PR2);3. Created Agri-Lingua practicum (PR3)4. Creating a network and strengthening the synergy among agriculture stakeholders by widening their perspectives on application of green skills and soft skills in agriculture made possible with the developed training materials for green skills (PR2) and linguistic skills (PR3);5. Organizing national webinasr based on project results outcomes;6. Developed tourism based agro-production tool-kit (PR4);7. Created digital course in circular agriculture (PR5);8. Attracting higher number of fresh-comers at the Faculties of Agriculture;9. Increasing the skills of min. 1200 ag producers and CA stakeholders will be strengthened in the field of sustainable-green agriculture;9. Skills gap of ag producers hampering their income will be filled;10. Establishment of a strategic partnership between the participants of the consortium for sustainable exchange and development of good practices in HE and applying them in further developing the LLL programs in agriculture;11. Networking of and best practice sharing among students, agricultural stakeholders, academic staff and ag producers will be initiated through their participation in the webinars and the E1 media event as well as the dissemination activities;12. Strengthened cooperation between the ag producers and educators will be improved (business and academic axes);13. improved sustainable agriculture at the project consortium countries and beyond;14.Modernized higher education in the field of agriculture.Having been exposed to a range of research environments, different areas of food development and life in different countries, the academic staff and representatives for curricula development will be in a much better position to make informed decisions on their HE programs.

The technological changes our societies undergo require educational institutions to introduce innovative learning approaches in order to prepare future citizens possessing the necessary 21st century skills and competences. Research in game-based learning has clearly demonstrated that using games as an educational tool provides immense opportunities for deeper learning. With the emergence of massively multiplayer online games, data shows, young people aged between 13-17 yo. spend on average 6 - 8 hours/daily in 3D immersive gaming environments, and the most popular gaming environments, Roblox and Minecraft, have 70 million players monthly, the majority of whom are between 11 and 17 y.o. While Roblox and Minecraft are the top online entertainment platforms for teenagers, their educational potential has not been fully explored to this date.The current project aims to develop a series of tools, targeting to improve both educational methodologies and approaches, through introducing the use of multiplayer online games in the classroom in order to foster soft and transversal skills and competences in learners.The most important results to be expected during the project and on its completion are the following:1. The Virtual Games for Real Life Skills training programme2. The Virtual Games for Real Life Skills toolkit for teachers and educators 3. The Virtual Games for Real Life Skills competencies for Parents/legal guardians4. Two training events: 1 for teachers and one for pupils will be carried out in order to directly reach the target group representatives from one side, and to allow us to test, evaluate and improve the methodology with regards to the results achieved during the trainings, and the participants feedback.5. The Virtual World Games for Real Life Skills local workshops for students, which will be carried out in each of the partnering countries for a duration of three months. The main target groups of the project are secondary and high school pupils, their teachers and parents/legal guardians. The project is expected to involve around 600 direct participants through its activities, and around 4000 thousand indirect participants through its dissemination and promotion activities. The project is expected to improve the skills of students, their entrepreneurial, digital, critical thinking, social and cultural skills, promoting better chances for professional realization and improved performance in all areas of their lives. Their motivation to learn and engage with the educational process at school will be strengthened, as they will be provided with “fun” learning tools in a gaming environment they already use as part of their entertainment. Teachers will upgrade their own digital skills and will be provided with tools which will diversify their teaching approaches and methodologies. Parents/legal guardians will be able to engage better in the learning process of their children, as well as with the school teachers and staff through the gaming environment and the communication tools to be provided through the project.
