Topic(s) addressed

  • Sustainability

  • Learning together

  • Creativity

  • Regional, interregional and transitional learning

Target groups

  • 111 VET pupils 

  • 25 teachers 

Methodologies

  • Developing activities and working methods by exploring Luxembourg green spaces

  • Presentations of learning results by pupils for groups of experts (teachers and representatives of companies)

  • Peer learning experience on the national level and beyond. 

  • Building up students’ soft skills and language competencies and developing a stronger European spirit

Environments

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

  • The students were introduced to niches in their professional fields– a crucial experience in a small country like Luxembourg with a limited diversity of natural environments. 

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.
