Last week, the European project CEMforSMEs held its Learning, Teaching, and Training Activity (LTTA) in Braga, Portugal.
The event marked a significant milestone for the project, which aims to promote the transition from a linear to a circular economy among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the agri-food sector.
An LTTA serves as a critical testing ground for the educational materials developed during the project. In this case, the focus was on assessing the new training modules aimed at equipping SMEs with the skills and knowledge to implement sustainable practices in their supply chains.
The project’s overarching goal is to create a Circular Economy Manager profile and a comprehensive training curriculum. These efforts are specifically designed to help SMEs in the agri-food industry adapt to the growing demand for sustainable practices, contributing to the broader European Green Deal objectives. The participants in the training sessions had the chance to delve into these topics and engage in interactive workshops.
Overall, the LTTA in Braga was a successful step toward achieving the project's objectives, bringing together partners and stakeholders to advance the development of a circular economy framework tailored for SMEs in Europe.
The next steps will involve further refinement of the training materials, ensuring they meet the needs of SMEs while aligning with European sustainability goals.
