<< Background >>One of the most important priorities in the European Union is to ensure food safety and protection of consumer’s rights.Society and politics are constantly changing. This causes society's priorities to change over time, which, in turn, translates into new needs and situations that must be evaluated. Consequently, food law, to cover new social needs and situations that arise because of changing reality, is constantly updated. The ignorance of operators and food businesses about these kind of changes in food law negatively affects the essential priority for the European Union: food safety and consumer’s rights protection. This safety can be promoted through the dissemination of the necessary knowledge to keep it intact, allowing, therefore, the learning and development of knowledge of those sectors required to obey these laws.There is an important need to modernize higher education to keep up with the globalization and technological developments all over Europe. TRIFLIM attends to the need of professional development for technicians and professionals from agri-food sector and related industries.On the other hand, the changing demand of different products from different countries caused by globalization and the access to on-line platforms which allow consumer’s access to many food products from different countries, can negatively affect food safety. There is a relevant lack of knowledge in food law area and this lack is increasing through the years. This lack become worrying when comes from food businesses or people who works in food lawAlso, the ignorance of the requirements indicated in laws entail that this target groups could find barriers when they will try to market their products because they do not follow these requirements and it makes making more difficult their daily activities. So, there is a need to ensure food safety, avoid outbreaks and situations of crisis and help food businesses. This safety can be promoted through the dissemination of the necessary knowledge to keep it intact, allowing, therefore, the learning and development of knowledge of those sectors required to obey these laws.<< Objectives >>The objective of the project is the development of an innovative e-learning programme about European Union food law providing the acquisition of knowledge and the specialization in food law supporting opportunities in acquiring and developing key competences to foster employability and socio-educational and personal development. Training will be achieved using the latest ICT tools and designing the gamification of content to foster user motivation. This will make the process of learning more innovative and attractive. This objective will be reached ensuring the clarity, completeness and quality of the work programme, including appropriate phases for preparation, implementation, monitoring evaluation, sharing and promotion.The result that the project will reach is an innovative and motivating digital training that exploits the latest technologies and learning approaches based on gamification and storytelling to make the whole process more modern and attractive, adapted to the training needs and the preferences of the attendees.The project involves youth and adults from rural and geographically isolated areas to take part in long distance trainings.Agricultural production and food processing are very important sectors of the Greek, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish economy, with large development potential; size, quality and environmental sustainably wise. Additionally, knowledge based and digitally supported Agrofood production may become a sustainable source of income that will keep youth population in rural areas, which is also a focus of our consortium engagement and in accordance to the 6th European Youth Goal “MOVING RURAL YOUTH FORWARD” (E.U Youth Strategy 2019-2027). Through the TRIFILM project, the partners will acquire deeper knowledge and specialized digital tools in order to transfer this knowledge to Agrofood entrepreneurs, especially these in rural areas who have less opportunities.TRIFLIM project is oriented to the education field to increase quality education. The European Union agenda for suitable development includes its 17 sustainable development goals. The 4th sustainable development goal is «Quality education» which is necessarily related to the 8th and 9th goals «Decent work and economic growth» and «Industry, innovation and infrastructure» for the reason that ensuring «inclusive an equitable quality education» and promoting «lifelong learning opportunities for all» necessary entails, on the one hand, the promotion of «sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all» and, on the other hand, the building of «resilient infrastructure» and the promotion of «inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation».This project is designed in an eco-friendly manner and incorporates green practices. The implementation of an e-learning programme promotes a «0% paper» initiative. The heart of the European Green Deal is the «from farm to fork» initiative, being part of the food safety policies from the European Union. This project is directly related to food safety in the European Union.AINIA, coordinator of TRIFLIM project, is part of these BTSF initiatives since 2006 so, this project will follow the main and the specific objectives of BTSF training strategies, sharing the same views, following the initiatives of the European Commission and meeting its plans.<< Implementation >>The project requires to carry out various activities in which all partners will have an active role. The activities to carry out with the support of the grant requested under the item «Project management and implementation» are the following:Activity 1-Management. AINIA, as the project leader, will establish a management plan for the achievement of all the milestones during the development of the project. Activity 2-Design, development and implementation of a Quality Plan. In order to ensure that the project implementation is of high quality, completed in time and on budget, there will be quality control plan. This activity will be led by CRETHIDEV and will consist of a set of organisation activities and procedures that the consortium will use during the project to support its quality management, setting the quality required to carry out the project successfully. Two will be the main axes of the quality auditing: Quality of Results and Quality of Procedures. All partners will contribute to the quality follow-up stated, which will be checked during all Consortium Meetings.Activity 3- Communication, Dissemination, sharing and promotion activities.This activity will be led by AINIA. The participants will actively contribute to the dissemination of the course in their own countries. It is explained in the sharing and promotion activities section of this document.Activity 4- ExploitationThis activity will be led by LEX ALIMENTARIA, will be setting a plan for ensuring the sustainability of the project being the most important activity the introduction of the course into the partners training portfolio and transferring of the course to other domains.<< Results >>The expectations of the project are the consecution of 2 results:1.E-LEARNING TOOLS: these tools could be transported to different fields and matters and could be used in another different projects with other partners from different Member States creating synergies between different fields of education and training and opportunities for collaboration. All the participants will benefit from their cooperation with partners from other countries, in the fields of education and training, giving the opportunity to organize other European Projects. The main impact of this result will be the creation of tools which could be implemented in e-learning programmes being a good quality training in food law providing knowledge acquisition in the European Union. This will improve skills and qualifications to facilitate personal and professional development. The Pilot course has foreseen to enrol a minimum 12 people.2.E-LEARNING PROGRAMME: The involvement of the participants organizations in the development of the e-learning programme materials give them deliverables that can be transported to different fields and matters and could be used in another different projects with other partners from different Member States creating synergies between different fields of education and training and opportunities for collaboration. All the participants will benefit from their cooperation with partners from other countries, in the fields of education and training, giving the opportunity to organize other European Projects. The main impact of this result will be the creation of the grounds of an e-learning course that will be a good quality training in food law providing knowledge acquisition in the European Union. This will improve skills and qualifications to facilitate personal and professional development. Also, the Pilot course has foreseen to enrol a minimum 12 people.
