AKTOS - Transfer and dissemination of good practices models for profesional training in the rural areas (01.10.2010 - 31.03.2012)

Project description
The AKTOS project: “Transfer and Dissemination of good practices models for professional training in the rural areas” is a Leonardo da Vinci - Transfer for Innovation Project, developed within the framework of the Lifelong Learning Programme and with a total lifetime of 18 months (1st October 2010 - 31th March 2012).

It intends to transfer the results of a previous project that was developed as Thematic Network within the previous Leonardo da Vinci Programme: FONTES: “Thematic network to validate and disseminate good practises and quality models of vocational training in rural areas”.

The main result that will be transferred within the AKTOS project will be the Good Practises Guide of the previous FONTES project, that intends to inform the users target groups, about the employment possibilities generated by the different endogenous resources of the rural areas, which in many cases are not yet properly exploited.


The main objectives of the AKTOS project are:
  • To carry out the transfer of a tool that integrates innovative contents and results.
  • To transfer these materials to rural communities in need of a specific training related to the exploitation of the endogenous resources.
  • To adapt the contents to the needs and requirements of the different target groups.
  • To carry out the transfer action to new socio-cultural and linguistic contexts.
  • To promote the participation of companies, sectoral organisations and social partners related to vocational training and employment.
  • To promote equal opportunities in the action areas of the project.

The main target groups of the AKTOS project are:
  • Rural women.
  • Non-qualified young people.
  • Marginal groups.
  • Disabled people.
  • Social agents from the sector.
  • Educational authorities.
