The aim of R3 was to develop innovation and creativity among VET Educators. The DigiFE consortium developed a “Design Thinking” course to support educators to create training specifically designed for agri-food entrepreneurs, addressing their unique challenges.
The project consortium began by developing a survey to be sent to rural food entrepreneurs to identify specific difficulties they face in online markets.
This survey was discussed, refined and then piloted in a specific group before being translated and distributed among rural food entrepreneurs in each partner country. Data was collected and analysed from the survey, and the insights gathered helped to guide the development of a course curriculum.
After translation into partner languages, the final curriculum was made available for use through the project website and social media pages. After creating a draft, the consortium reviewed and refined it before making it available online through the DigiFE project website and social media pages.
