Common Green Horizons – a common green basic course for animal care, agricultural and landscape gardening education
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT?
The project aims to develop a cross-curricular basic course for agricultural, animal care and landscape gardening education that both strengthens the individual student's green life opportunities through team-based teaching, and at the same time we will raise social responsibility by ensuring qualified labor with a focus on the green transition to today's labor market. Techcollege will uncover the form, framework and content of a common green basic course, and seek out opportunities for external forces to contribute with didactic and pedagogical skills, so that we can convert the right vocational knowledge into cross-curricular teaching. In addition, we will investigate whether we can revitalize our workshops so that the operation speaks more clearly to themes such as biodiversity, recycling, plant-based food production and new technology.
WHO IS BEHIND?
We have received the grant from the Villum Foundation and the money will go to Techcollege.
WHICH COURSES ARE PARTICIPATING?
The following programs from Techcollege participate:
• Animal care, Agriculture and landscape gardening education.
THE PROJECT IN NUMBERS
Total project budget: DKK 299,850.
Techcollege's total budget: DKK 299,850. *Of which self-financing: DKK 0.
Project period: January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025
WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE PART OF THE PROJECT?
• Identify the form, framework and content of a common green basic course
• Plan and hold a day with a focus on didactics, pedagogy and conversion of vocational knowledge into interdisciplinary teaching
• Investigate whether we can revitalize our workshops so that operations speak more clearly to themes such as biodiversity, recycling, plant-based food production and new technology. The physical framework must reflect the form of education we want in the future and must represent our common green basic course
WHAT ARE THE EXPECTED RESULTS OF THE PROJECT?
The goal is for teachers across our agricultural, animal care and landscape gardening education to identify opportunities to develop a common green basic course (GF2)
