The summer school is structured in the following manner: A series of theoretical events during morning sessions followed by practical ones in the afternoon. The selected organisation will translate the event from English to the local languages using a subtitling software or scheme.

The event will take place from September 14 to September 18 with 4 to 7 hours of training each day. The event will gather 50+ participants that will log in from Italy, Poland, and Spain. Experts and trainers from the different organisations within the European food and agriculture sphere will participate as trainers and lecturers.
