This project brings together universities in Malawi, Tanzania and Norway to improve agricultural education and help more young people find work or start their own businesses. The goal is to modernise small-scale farming by giving teachers better skills and new ideas they can use in their teaching. Participants will learn about digital tools, food production, and how to make farming more climate-friendly. They will also work with private companies and NGOs to make education more practical and relevant. The project shares new methods through churches and mosques, which reach many people in Malawi and Tanzania. In the long term, the project aims to improve food security and give students the tools they need to build a better future.
