Environments

• Taking learning outside the classroom to explore specialised and innovative farming methods as well as environmentally responsible cultivation methods abroad

Teachers

• The teachers have contributed to the adaptation and innovation of learning programmes and single lessons. 

• They have also built contacts with teachers, experts and researchers abroad that will benefit their school facilitating further exchanges.

Impact

• The pupils participating in the activities abroad received in-depth training beneficial for their future work– very important in the national and regional context of the Greater Region (SaarLorLux, Rhineland-Palatinate, Walloon Region). 

• Through presentations given to the school community, they motivated their peers to take up similar training abroad.

• The connections of the Lycée Technique Agricole (part of the EUROPEA network) have been strengthened by the exchange between pupils, teachers and companies.
