Circular Economy in the Food System

Challenges in the Food system require a mind-shift and a thrilling change in the awareness and competencies of young talents; Skills 4 Future will be a one-year challenge giving students (16 -19 years old) in southern Italy the skills to bring the food economy toward a sustainable future.

With mentorship from agro-food sector leaders, students will take on the challenge to reduce food waste and increase efficiency in the food system to the realization of winning project-ideas through an eye-opening and skill development training.

Entrepreneurship Programme

Over the course of the school year, student teams work with industry mentors to launch mini-companies and develop their innovative products or services.

Student companies present their innovations at country and European-wide competitions where winners can earn investments to bring their products to market.

We Are Looking for Mentors!

Be yourself and share your knowledge and experience with student teams a few times over the academic year.
