Denizli, Turkey - March 31, 2023: Pamukkale University welcomed international delegates for the 2nd Transnational Meeting of the "Digital Farmer" project, held on March 30th and 31st, 2023. This significant event, part of the Erasmus+ KA220 Cooperation Partnerships initiative, brought together experts and stakeholders to discuss advancements and strategies in agricultural digitalization.
Throughout the two-day meeting, attendees participated in a series of workshops and presentations. Key topics included the development of digital competencies for farmers, the integration of smart farming technologies, and the creation of a comprehensive curriculum for VET providers. The sessions were designed to foster an environment of learning and innovation, encouraging participants to contribute their unique perspectives and expertise.

From 7 to 11 November, the Digital Farmer International Workshop was held in Naples.
It was a moment of confrontation between different expertise and minds to discuss all together two of the project outputs: the manual "Digital VET Trainer in Agriculture" and the manual "Digital Traineeship in Agriculture".
While the fist one will focus on digital tools for teaching in agriculture, the second has to do with digital innovations in agriculture and how to implement distance learning traineeships. Specifically, the partners defined how to structure the chapters, what kind of content to include and what insights to make the manuals as accessible and valuable as possible to educators, trainers and VET providers.

Finally, they defined the next steps to be taken, i.e. how and where to implement digital traineeships.
