EcologyKM: “Our team comments on the many educational AgroSilver Value case videos that are being created in Bulgaria. Soon these will be publically available via a dedicated educational eco agri video platform. We focussed on the complete production cycle: the farms where the products are grown, harvested and packaged, the entrepreunership of the eco / organic farms owners, and the consumption in restaurants/hotels as a result of their diversification strategies”.

Agrosilver Value project (Erasmus+) delivering video training materials for agroecology

Agrosilver project “Integrating silver knowledge from agroecology into the VET systems” has already launched the recording of video material that will support teachers in the improvement of the digital contents of their lessons.

Agrosilver expects the recording of more than 1.000 minutes of video education materials which will cover different aspects of the agroecology. These videos will be freely available to be used by teachers, students and training centres in their lessons. Videos will come from different EU countries, all of them counting on subtitles in several languages to increase the transferability and usability of the training materials.

Agrosilver Value project (Erasmus+) promoting the training in agroecology

Agrosilver project “Integrating silver knowledge from agroecology into the VET systems” has been launched in September 2020 and the partners has been gathered in the first technical workshop.

With the provided tools, the agricultural teaching will be more attractive, both for the teacher and the student.

Platform of Agreoecology Videos

This Platform is a compilation of videos related to agroecology, based on the real experiences and testimonies of farmers, silver farmers and teachers, gathered in a structured online database, where the videos are stored and indexed with labels for a better identification.

The search portal allows to filter by labels, by keywords, or just use the automatic searching machine, resulting in a list of proposed videos on the selected thematic.

Videos Software

The software, integrated in the platform, will allow you to:

  1. Read the audio content of the video.
  2. Transform the audio into text, creating subtitles and storing the data.
  3. Translate the subtitles into main EU language.
  4. Create automatic labelling of the video, identifying main topics and video thematic.

The project tools are delivery freely for any interested teacher or student, because they are developed under the European project of cooperation “Agrosilver Value” which has been funded by the European Commission through the Eramus+ programme.
