Beelieve
"BeeLieve is a four-year Erasmus+ initiative to revolutionize apiculture education and promote sustainable beekeeping across Europe."
How it all works
BeeLieve is an ambitious four-year initiative funded by Erasmus+, dedicated to revolutionizing apiculture education and promoting sustainable beekeeping practices across Europe.
1
Sustainability
Foster eco-friendly practices in apiculture by promoting organic beekeeping and biodiversity conservation.
2
Skill Development
Equip participants with the latest knowledge and hands-on training in beekeeping, business, and digital skills to meet the needs of the industry.
3
Innovation & Research
Engage in applied research to advance hive management techniques, bee health, and the integration of digital tools.
Approach
The BeeLieve project will establish CoVEs in strategic locations within partner countries. These centers will act as hubs for practical, industry-aligned learning and research. Through collaborations between vocational education institutions, beekeeping associations, and industry experts, BeeLieve will develop and implement training modules that address the specific needs of the apiculture sector.
Promotion of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion
The project will actively promote inclusion by supporting women and rural unemployed individuals interested in apiculture careers. BeeLieve’s training will provide targeted support to increase diversity and representation in beekeeping, aiming to raise the participation of underrepresented groups by 30%. Activities will also include showcasing successful women in apiculture as role models, encouraging broader representation and equity within the industry .
