Farm Trankovec

You are invited to join us for the last work-based learning activity of the year, which will take place on Wednesday 30 September 2020 at Trankovec Farm.

The Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., is preparing the first activity aimed at integrating vulnerable groups into the labour market through participation in farm activities, within the framework of the project “Farm – a place of diversity”, funded by the European Fund for Rural Development under sub-measure 16.9. This activity will be the last one in the first year of the project and, if the evolving epidemiological situation permits, we will meet again in the spring. The project is implemented in cooperation with Kovačnik, Baron and Trankovec farms and the Epeka Youth Cooperative. The project aims to increase the capacity of the farms to work with vulnerable groups with a view to their social activation and faster reintegration into society and the labour market. We also emphasise the intergenerational component and the educational approaches that enable the transfer of knowledge between all participants and also between the trainers. Within the activities, you will get to know the work on the farm better and, through an oral evaluation of the activities, you will be able to co-design the educational approach in future activities.

The planned activity will take place from 7 am to 5 pm. Transport to the site will be provided for all interested participants. The meeting point is Koroška 8, 2000 Maribor, at 7 am.

Participation in the activity is free of charge and includes lunch at the venue.

All participants are urged to take care of their health and the health of others while attending the event and to follow the NIJZ guidelines on limiting the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infections.

The project is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
