Dissemination of solutions

This phase has two main goals:

  1. To reach farmers, trainers and advisors to facilitate the adoption of best practices in each partner country.
  2. To maintain the practical knowledge in the long-term and beyond the project lifetime.

To achieve the first goal, training and demonstration days for equine farmers are being designed and organized in each country while online trainings and e-learning modules will be also developed for trainers and advisors. EUnetHorse will further disseminate the solutions by means of EUfarmbook and the well-known and traditional dissemination channels such as fairs, specialized press, national platforms, social media and others.

For the moment the first Training and Demonstration Days have been organized in each partner country where solutions and good practices related to the following priority needs have been disseminated:

  • How can working conditions be improved?
  • How can biodiversity be improvedwhile maintaining equine activities?

To achieve the second goal, EUnetHorse has developed a network of equine trainers and advisors called TANet. This network is involved from the beginning of the actions and will ensure the production of relevant contents for their daily basis. This network will ensure the organization of demonstration and training days, online trainings and training kits beyond the project lifetime.

Moreover, using EU-FarmBook as a knowledge platform will ensure the accessibility of project results and contents during and after the project lifetime. Please see the information that have been already loaded in the EU-FarmBook platform.
