An
international experience to exchange the love of making Coffee
1TH January 2016 – 30TH Jun 2017
A partnership made of 8 organizations from 7 different counties (Germany, Belgium,
Spain, Italy, Colombia, Brazil, Indonesia), provides the younger generations with competitiveness,
know how and professionalization in a field where they can offer their
expertise: coffee. The group is made of NGO´s active in the youth field,
business realities and a school institute.
Aim of this project, that started in January 2016 and
will go on until June 2017, is to offer the participants a newly developed education
concept about the whole coffee chain. Key element is the international
experience and exchange for and between the participants. Thanks to the
European support we will be able to offer a high professional coffee
education, and the experience of an international exchange, with prices that
will make it accessible to people that maybe otherwise wouldn’t have that
possibility.
Youth unemployment has become a major issue for many
organizations in European and non-European countries. We believe that well-performing
education and training systems, with better synergies with the labour market,
can help to tackle these challenge.

PARTICIPANTS
The education in the world of
coffee is sometimes difficult to reach for those that mostly need it, due to
high costs. Through this project we want to provide vocational training, and
experience of an international exchange to people who are very motivated to
learn and undertake various activities in the field of coffee. The selection of
participants will be handled individually by each partner, considering the motivation,
general expectations and dreams connected to the participation in the project.
This will help to keep the quality of the training and the results high (and to
have participants that are motivated and serious).
