Strengthening the Next Generation of Beekeepers is an Erasmus+ cooperation project in Vocational Education that aims to modernise beekeeping education while encouraging a new generation of young people to enter the sector. Building on the successful BeeGen project, BeeBridge will update training curricula for both new and experienced beekeepers, introduce content addressing current challenges such as climate change, and develop accessible audiovisual learning resources, including educational videos and the “Voice of Experts” podcast series. The project will also create a practical handbook for establishing educational apiaries and set up three micro-educational apiaries where training approaches can be tested in practice. Through cooperation between organisations from Poland, Spain, Czechia, Lithuania, Estonia and Türkiye, BeeBridge seeks to combine the knowledge of experienced beekeepers with innovative learning methods, supporting knowledge transfer between generations and contributing to a more sustainable and resilient future for European beekeeping.
