BøthOfUs is grateful for the funding provided by the European Union through the ERASMUS-LS action. A special acknowledgment goes to our Deputy CEO, Dimitra Gkounta, for her dedicated efforts. We are thrilled to engage in collaboration and knowledge exchange for the advancement of YINNOH (Youth Innovation Hub). Our sincere thanks to Mai, Pascal, and Brighter Smiles for their contributions. Recently, after a prolonged wait, we received a positive confirmation, allowing us to make a meaningful impact and facilitate knowledge sharing between the European Union and the African Union in Uganda. The project's primary objective is to enhance vocational education and training (VET) in Uganda. This involves developing a quality framework for VET institutions/organizations, addressing educational and digital disparities, updating curricula to align with the textile industry's challenges and opportunities, incorporating the latest skills demanded by the industry, and promoting environmental and social governance in the textile supply chain. This includes trends in regenerative cotton production and considering environmental and social aspects from seed to garment. In the consortium, BøthOfUs, as a Swedish partner, will play a pivotal role in driving the digitalization and digital transformation of institutions. We are actively pursuing additional calls this year. Flying soon to Uganda :) If you are interested in becoming our consortium partner, please click here to read more - https://lnkd.in/eHZEwqDr
