A member of ALDA (European Association for Local Democracy) is looking for partners to join a new project proposal that will be submitted within Erasmus+, Call 2016 – Key Action 2 on Strategic Partnerships (deadline 31 March h 12:00 CET).

The project proposal is led by Unione degli Assessorati Comunali e Provinciali alle Politiche Socio-Sanitarie e del Lavoro (Palermo, Italy) and aims to design and piloting a training curriculum concerning the professional profiles working in the socio-farming sector (the ones already existing and the potential ones), whose employability is rising all over Europe. In fact, the social-farming field is progressively developing, both in terms of employment offer and production, and it is generating a plurality of profiles integrating agronomic competences with the ones related to care and rehabilitation linked in particular to the psychiatric field.

This partners search is addressed to all the countries eligible in Erasmus+ except Italy being this country already represented within the partnership, having the potential partners the following profile:

1) Public Authorities in order to “translate” the project results in tangible products aimed at strengthening the production and placement system of the socio-farming field in all national territories involved in the partnership;

2) Organisations holding specific know how in both the agroeconomic and care sectors, and in the design of the professional curriculum expected that must be piloted in at least 3 partnership countries;

3) Social private companies, responsible of the piloting of the training curriculum within their respective territories.

If you are interest to join this project and/or to receive more information, please contact Ms Marcella Giacomarra  by March 20th at the latest.
