This course program responds directly to the horizontal priorities of the Erasmus+ program, by integrating: *Inclusion and Diversity, through the valorisation of local knowledge, the participation of less representative regions and the promotion of dialogue between different cultural and social contexts; *Ecological Transition, by addressing sustainable development in a transversal way in the areas of heritage, food and regional innovation and raising awareness of various principles that they can adopt to reduce carbon and environmental footprints in their activities; *Digital Transformation, using collaborative and interactive platforms in the virtual component and the creation of shareable digital products among participants, as well as providing an innovative vision based on examples of good technological practices from local companies and entrepreneurs; *Participation in Democratic Life, promoting active citizenship, community involvement and European awareness of the participants. The proposal is also of great strategic relevance by enhancing the transfer of good practices between local and international contexts, strengthening the role of higher education institutions in promoting a more cohesive, resilient and sustainable Europe, as well as creating conditions for future projects of strategic cooperation, research/action and joint curriculum development synchronized with the Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.
