Resilience Against Climate change through a model prototype of mobile green house

Meeting in Limassol

In the initial phase of the project, which focused on teacher training, teachers from the partner schools (3 Italian and 2 Croatian) traveled to Cyprus for comprehensive training on the essential criteria of the project's logical framework for developing the greenhouse prototype. The university-led training program, spanning 4 working days, featured a series of lectures on greenhouse technologies, accompanied by constructive discussions. The program further included a presentation on the design framework for the mobile greenhouse, followed by an interactive discussion on potential improvements and identified areas for enhancement in the design. This on-site training empowered teachers to subsequently disseminate their knowledge among their peers. Participants also visited the Agriculture Department Laboratories and explored greenhouse facilities in the Zygi area.

Project/ Consortium

This Erasmus Plus project establishes a partnership between two secondary institutions; ITT Ettore Majorana Milazzo (Italy) and Secondary School of Agriculture and Forestry Vinkovci (Croatia) and the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT, Cyprus) to promote resilience against climate change through the creation of a prototype mobile greenhouse, aligning with the overarching horizontal priority of 'Environment and the fight against climate change'. The project facilitates the transfer of knowledge and guidance from a higher research institute (CUT) to the partner schools, following a logical framework of scientific criteria applied to the practical development of the mobile greenhouse. The primary objective is to enhance the innovation in the training provided by the teachers at these secondary institutes, while concurrently enhancing the competitive edge of their students in the job market. Furthermore, the development of the mobile greenhouse holds potential to revolutionize practices in greenhouse cultivation.
