🌿 Empowering the next generation in sustainable agriculture 🌱 We had the privilege of sharing insights on hemp cultivation and the Hemp4Circularity project with the bright minds of Ghent University’s master program in bioscience engineering technology (Agriculture) 👩🎓 It’s inspiring to show these students the potential of hemp within a more circular and sustainable agricultural sector. In just a few months, these students will be stepping into the professional world. #Hemp4Circularity #SustainableFuture #HempEducation #hemp Interreg North-West Europe (NWE)
🌟 At Libeco, we understand the importance of internal training, especially in an industry where textile education is becoming scarce. Our dedicated mentors, known as "𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀," play a vital role in transmitting our craft's knowledge to new team members. We're grateful to Cobot vzw for equipping more of our team to step into this role! In just 2 sessions, they've gained valuable interactive onboarding techniques.
