Although the profession of the shepherd is one of the professions of great importance for all countries' welfare, it has almost disappeared. While the number of small animals in Europe and in our country continues to increase, the enterprises have difficulty in finding shepherds to manage their flocks. For this reason, it decreases the number of animals in the enterprise.Despite the large number of sheep goats in our province, there are not enough shepherds to manage these flocks. There are shortcomings in the level of consciousness of our existing shepherds according to European standards.If we cannot make our shepherds more conscious, or if we cannot raise awareness of the shepherd profession, the yield of sheep livestock will decrease. Therefore, it will affect the national economy negatively. The aim of the project is to increase awareness of the shepherd profession and to increase the awareness of our existing shepherds to European standards and thus to increase the efficiency of sheep production, meat and dairy products.Objectives of the Project;1- Make Shepherds to recognize the importance of the sector.2- To increase the awareness of our shepherds about sheep and goat breeding.3- To increase the shepherds' welfare levels4- To increase animal welfare practices5- To understand and develop new approaches in sheep and goat farms6- Developing better strategies for better functioning of ovine enterprises7-To ensure production in accordance with European Animal Welfare CriteriaThe project will be carried out with 7 partners. Two short-term learning teaching training activities will be organized in the project. The first of these trainings will be held in Serbia and the second in Greece. The aim of these trainings is to adopt new approaches to vocational education and to reflect this method to their professional skills. After these trainings, the professional competencies, knowledge and skills of the participants will increase.Also; this project will provide participants with the opportunity to use these new learning methods in their own enterprises, institutions and organizations.Within the scope of the project, local training courses will be organized to increase awareness of the shepherd profession and to increase the awareness level by reaching shepherds in the wider masses.These courses will include the reshaping of the European shepherd profession with the criteria of European sheep breeding, local sheep goat breeds, life skills in nature, and different shepherd cultures.An information platform will be created that shepherds will always reach to solve the problem of being social and socially remote.All information that may be needed by the shepherds will be presented to the shepherds with intellectual outputs such as guidance and e-learning programs.
