Trainers and Advisors Network (TANet)

The TANet aims to be an important goal of the project by creating a structured and animated trainers and advisors network. This network will be involved in the identification of trainers’ and advisors’ needs, and they will be fully involved in the elaboration of the training kits to ensure that results obtained from the EUnetHorse project are directly usable for training contents and transferable to the equine sector.

This network will continue operating beyond the EUnetHorse project as an operating guide will be established to ensure that dissemination actions will continue. TANet will be involved in the design of training activities based on their trainers and advisors’ needs, and reaching more and more trainers and advisors with EUnetHorse digital trainings. The aim is that this network becomes autonomous, gathering trainers and advisors, also from non-partner countries.

In terms of constitution, in April 2024, approximatively 25 trainers and advisors, coming from the 9 partner countries, will meet to officially launch this network. They will compose the “core group” of the TANet. Then, for 3 years, they will recruit new trainers, advisors and teachers in their corresponding countries in order to set up and manage a national network. They will be linked at European and national level, in close cooperation with their National Facilitators.
