Implementation plan
To achieve these objectives, LATEST is built on five complementary Work Packages – WP (including 10 project results – PR), organised in three main phases:
Phase 1:
Benchmark of existing training and related initiatives (WP1) and prospective analysis of labour market and stakeholder demand (WP2).
Phase 2:
Validation of proposed content, tools and teaching methods leading to curriculum development (WP3-PR6)
Phase 3:
Conceptualisation of a blended learning programme on agricultural transition (WP3-PR7) Most of the activities in WP4, and WP5 will be carried out in a cross-cutting way and throughout the project. Communication activities related to the end of the project will be concentrated in WP3.
LATEST WP4 and WP5 will be carried out in a cross-cutting way and throughout the project. Communication activities related to the end of the project will be concentrated in the Phase 3.
The succession and completion of each phase will be a key factor of success for the successful achievement of the project
