C.O.F.F.E.E., Cooperation for fostering Education and Employability.

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.

Activities Planned:
-      
Int´l Trainings in Florence: two weeks dedicated to coffee education, following the steps of the Coffee Diploma System of the SCAE, Speciality Coffee Association of Europe.
-       Implementation of an online resource with E-courses and the possibility of online trainings.
-       Learning exchange Mobility to Brazil and Sumatra. In order to consolidate cross-border collaboration and transfer of know-how, the European participants will discover the real life of the farmers in the plantation. The two missions will last 10 days and comprises theoretic and practical workshops. Peer learning activities and non-formal learning will be the method used to further the group knowledge and professionalization in the coffee work.

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).
