The first stage of the project was to train the teachers and professionals, by presenting the activities to be carried out, the aims to be achieved and the technology to be applied. LDuring the second stage, lessons were held with the classes, where the teachers demonstrated how vite.net works, followed by technical/practical activities for the whole 2018 vinegrowing season.
