CAVA – Competences for added value Agro-food microproducts – entrepreneurial development in rural areas

The CAVA project focuses on tourism, catering and agri-food sectors. The reason behind it is to capitalize traditional products and local gastronomic culture as a method for entrepreneurial development and occupational growth through promotion and qualification in product processing. We anticipate that the project will contribute to develop integrated markets and supply chains for food products in tourism. The project general objectives are as follows:
• Strengthening the exchange of knowledge, innovation, resources and practices between educational actors and the labour market. • Contributing to higher employability by developing entrepreneurial capacity and spirit among youth and adults in rural and peri-urban areas.
The project includes training providers (CEFAL–Emilia Romagna – Italy, AFMR – ETCHARRY – France, SCF –Italy), active organizations in the field of social economy (Civitas – Romania, CEC- Belgium), active organizations in the field of tourism promotion and capitalization of local patrimony (DOT –Silezia de Jos, public institution in the field of tourism – Poland, Casa Artusi – Italy), active organizations in the field of territorial development (AZRRI, Agency for Rural Development – Croatia, Agriculture Cooperative Lunca Someșului Mic –Romania) and local authorities (Istria Region – Croatia).
