🫒 Did you know? Olive oil has been produced in the Mediterranean for thousands of years - archaeological evidence shows olive oil making as far back as 4000 BC! Not only is it a culinary staple, but it was also historically used for medicine, lamp fuel and even soap.

The Go2Grove project 🇪🇺 equips Ukrainian refugees with practical skills in olive cultivation and olive oil production through innovative vocational training and hands-on learning. 🌱👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

In un’epoca in cui tecnologie digitali e Intelligenza Artificiale rivoluzionano l’istruzione, diventa sempre più importante riflettere su come l’elemento umano resti centrale nei processi di apprendimento.

L’articolo pubblicato su Dire, Fare, Insegnare esplora proprio questo equilibrio: la tecnologia può potenziare l’efficacia dei sistemi educativi — dall’automazione delle attività amministrative alla personalizzazione dei percorsi di apprendimento — ma non può sostituire ciò che ci rende umani. Le competenze socio-emotive, in particolare l’intelligenza emotiva, rimangono un pilastro imprescindibile per comprendere, motivare e supportare studenti e studentesse.

• L’IA può liberare tempo per gli insegnanti, permettendo loro di concentrarsi sulle relazioni e sulla comprensione delle esigenze individuali.
• Le competenze socio-emotive non sono un optional, ma un elemento strategico per prosperare in un mondo complesso e digitale.
• La sinergia tra tecnologia e intelligenza emotiva può rendere l’apprendimento più inclusivo, efficace ed equo.

Questo è esattamente ciò che sosteniamo nel progetto E&EM: non basta preparare giovani e professionisti alle tecnologie digitali — è fondamentale anche sviluppare pensiero critico, creatività ed intelligenza emotiva per navigare con consapevolezza i contesti digitali, collaborativi e complessi del futuro.

🧠 L’innovazione digitale va abbracciata, ma che senso ha una tecnologia potente se non è guidata da persone emotivamente consapevoli e critiche?

🌿 Have you ever wondered what happens to olives from the moment they’re harvested until they become the olive oil on your table? 🌿

This time of year, growers and mills are fully immersed in turning freshly harvested olives into one of Europe’s most treasured products: extra virgin olive oil.

Curious how this transformation happens? Here’s a look at the full journey 👇

🫒 Between October and January, olives are picked with great care - either by hand or with the help of modern machinery - to protect their quality.

🚛 Once harvested, olives are swiftly delivered to the mill to avoid oxidation. They’re kept briefly in ventilated crates to preserve freshness before processing begins.

🍃 At the mill, leaves and debris are removed and the olives are washed thoroughly. This ensures that only clean, healthy fruit enters the production phase.

⛲️ Next, the olives are crushed into a paste, freeing the microscopic droplets of oil and starting their transformation into what many call “liquid gold.”

🥣 The paste is gently mixed so the oil droplets can combine. Maintaining a controlled temperature during this stage is key to protecting flavour and nutrients.

🍶 Using centrifugation, the oil is separated from the remaining water and solids, then filtered and stored in stainless steel tanks. Finally, it’s bottled - usually in dark glass or tins - to shield it from light and keep it fresh until it reaches consumers.

✨ Follow our Go2Grove project page for more insights into the people, practices and sustainable approaches shaping the Mediterranean olive oil sector. Remember to visit our website as well: https://go2grove.erasmus.site/

Recent analysis shows that individuals displaced from Ukraine are entering European labour markets more rapidly than many other refugee groups.

At the same time, Europe’s agricultural sector - especially seasonal work such as fruit, vegetable and olive harvesting - faces long-standing labour shortages and difficult working conditions.

By actively welcoming and training Ukrainian job-seekers into roles like olive-grove harvesting, we can help preserve traditional rural agricultural crafts as well as strengthen local communities.

💡 The Go2Grove project offers training, building skills and cultural exchange - everything what olive oil farmers need in one place.

🔐 It’s European Cybersecurity Month - and in today’s hyper-connected world, safety online goes beyond phishing: it’s about awareness, tools and education.

🧠 Social media overuse is a growing issue and it is closely connected with cybersecurity - but what if we empowered youth workers and young people with real tools to face it?

The project seeks to strengthen youth workers’ competences in managing problematic hyper-connectivity, provide young people with education & awareness, recognise cyber risks and foster more responsible decision-making in the digital world.

Our comprehensive project study explored young people’s social media hyperconnectivity, its risks and ways to reduce them.

🔍 What we did:
• Desk Research on youth (11-18) social media over-exposure across Europe and governmental measures
• 6 National Reports highlighting country-specific challenges and solutions
• 6 national questionnaires analyzed with insights from 198 participants – teachers, parents, psychologists, social workers and youth workers

💡 Key Findings:
• High daily use of social media
• Negative effects on mental & physical health
• Weakened family communication

Based on these insights, we developed practical, evidence-based resources to promote healthier online habits and strengthen digital resilience among young people.
