<< Background >>One of the horizontal priorities of Erasmus+ Programme is related to the environment and fight against climate change. European Green Deal for EU and its citizens, “resets the Commission’s commitment to tackling climate and environmental-related challenges and aims to transform EU’s economy for a sustainable future”. In order to achieve this aim, new strategies are emerged such as increasing the EU’s climate ambition for 2030 and 2050, accelerating the shift to sustainable and smart mobility, designing an integrated “From Farm2Fork” fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system, etc. In addition to this, as part of the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were set by international community. One of this SDGs is “Climate Action” which “aims to addressing the global and urgent challenge of climate change, notably by making sure that all countries of the world: (a) strengthen their resilience and adaptation to climate change, with extra attention to the small island developing States (SIDS) and least developed countries (LDCs), as well as the communities most vulnerable to and affected by climate change (b) mainstream climate change in global and national policies, strategies, and planning to ensure coherent, efficient, and quick actions and (c) raise awareness and educate people about the climate challenge and actions to take”.There is lack of training for specific professionals such as farmers and members of cooperative associations and in a smaller scale for food business operators regarding climate change and its consequences. Furthermore no equal opportunities for training of interested parties in the agro-food sector exist in partner countries. Food consumers also need training in order to change their habits related to their choices and habits. In addition to this, newly emerged strategies and priorities at EU and international level, create the necessity for the development of training courses adapted to these. LIVECLIC aims to develop training courses for the above - mentioned target groups in order to raise their awareness to sustainable growth.In addition to this, LIVECLIC aims to strengthen the competencies of specific professionals in the agri-food sector, thus making them critical factors of change in promoting specific EU Green Deal strategies, as well as to promote the exchange of best practices among the partner countries. Competencies will be related mainly to sustainable farming, circular economy, green supply chain thus contributing to the sustainable adaptation of livestock production and its supply chain to Climate Change (CC). Targeted professionals are farmers in the field of animal production, members of cooperative associations, food business operators, and professionals in the field of warehouses, transports and logistics. Consumer organizations are also a target group as the project aims to enable behavioral changes for individual preferences, and changes in consumption habits, and lifestyles including aspects such as reduction of food waste etc.<< Objectives >>LIVECLIC main objective is the design and development of training courses related to the sustainable adaptation of Livestock production to Climate Change. This objective aims to educate all the involved stakeholders of the sector who will contribute to the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable agriculture that will be readily absorbed by the labor market as well as consumers that would have the possibility to change habits and lifestyle by choosing a healthier and greener diet and by being familiar to practices for reducing food waste. The educative results could be useful for the whole society in terms of a more sustainable way of farming, production, consuming and living. The basic thematic categories developed will be (a) Climate change and animal production, (b) Circular economy / green supply chain in the agro-food sector, (c) Locally adapted breeds and climate change (d) social impact of climate change in the livestock production and (e) mitigation measures towards Climate Change.Further to the above mentioned main objective, three specific objectives will be incorporated: (1) To develop training courses adapted to the needs of partner countries, EU strategies and priorities as well as each partner country’s best practices related to the sustainable adaptation of livestock production to Climate Change. The aim of this specific objective is the cooperation, and the sharing of experiences and knowledge, which will result in more effective and cost-efficient actions and programs towards the training of farmers, retail sellers, scientists etc., in ensuring the sustainability of livestock production chain. Education is a significant actor in the struggle against CC and the latter should be integrated into the vocational training as a matter of urgency. In a highly globalized world, sustainable results can be produced through cooperation, since one country’s policy for agriculture directly affects its neighboring countries, and Europe as a whole. In addition, different implemented farming systems reflect also different needs and different approaches in regard to climate change policy framework.(2) To validate training courses through pilot trainings. Pilot trainings will be realized in selected partner countries as live trainings and workshops with simultaneous live broadcasting for specific participants (such as farmers in mountain areas or small islands). Audience will be consist of target groups associated with each thematic category.(3) To raise visibility of the developed courses. Dissemination and sharing activities will be selected on the basis of the more effective ways to create optimum impact for the interested parties.<< Implementation >>Various activities will be carried out by all partners depending on their expertise. Project’s activities are as followsACTIVITY 1 - MANAGEMENTProject management and implementation include supportive activities that aim to assure the successful implementation of the project through its results. In particular, these activities are related to management, coordination (operational & financial), communication (internal & external), quality assurance, and dissemination activities. The Project Management and coordination refers to the coordination of the project by the Project Coordinator (EMU) and the daily management activities by all partners.ACTIVITY 2 – QUALITY ASSURANCEQuality Assurance activities include:● the development of Quality Management Plan● the application of the defined quality controls,● the establishment of the continuous improvement programme,● the final project assessment and closure report.ACTIVITY 3 – DEVELOPMENT OF TRAINING PROGRAMMESIt includes the following tasksActivity 3.1 - Development of contents of training program Activity 3.2 - Development of training material Activity 3.3 – Fine tuning of training material Activity 3.4 – Evaluation of training materials ACTIVITY 4 – DISSEMINATION & EXPLOITATIONDissemination and Exploitation activities will be applied in various ways:Internet presence through project website, partners’ websites, social media, presentations in relevant conferences, newsletters, etc.More specifically, the following activities are envisaged:● Preparation of dissemination plan● Publications of articles and news ● Creation and maintenance of project website● Preparation of 4 newsletters● Back-links to the project site from the websites of partners● 6 multiplier events for generating awareness about the outcomes of the projectSharing activities will run continuously from the 2nd month of the project starting with the preparation of the dissemination plan and continue throughout the life of the project and for some time after the end of the project.<< Results >>Major result of LIVECLIC Project is the development of training material for the vocational traininb of selected target groups of the agro food sector related directly or indirectly to livestock production. In specific training material will be developed for the following thematic categories:- Impact of Livestock Production on climate change- Circular economy / green supply chain in the agri-food sector - Locally adapted breeds and climate change- Mitigation measures of Livestock Production towards CC- Evaluation of the social impact of climate change in the livestock production
