The overall objective of this project was focusing on green and digital transition. The aim of the smal scale project was to establish a long term European partnership in hydroponics, increasing knowledge in digital technology to use for teaching hydroponic cultivation. In the partnership we also wanted so show how cooperative projects in hydroponics can be a smart way of remote working. The more precise objectives were: Increase experience of & readiness for transnational, Erasmus partnership cooperation Increase the knowledge of how to create a hydroponic lab at the basic level among our staff Increase knowledge of what digital technology to use for teaching hydroponic cultivation, cooperative projects in hydroponics & smart remote working Establish a long term European partnership in hydroponics Increase experience of & readiness for transnational, Erasmus partnership cooperation Dissemination of project results at local, regional, national & European level Increase the knowledge of how to create a hydroponic lab at the basic level among our staff Dissemination of project results at local, regional, national & European level
We are currently being affected by climate change that affects all of us and our way of life. Pollution, temperature increase, melting ice in the Arctic and deforestation is some of the challenges we face. This project would address the United nations global goals of starvation and building sustainable cities. Hydroponics will safe-guarding the production of food of tomorrow and give us greener cities and space for tree and forest but still supply vegetables in a smaller growing areal. Working with hydroponics we all saw the opportunity to learn more about green tech, to get VET students within the green sector more competent in technical and digital skills and to get students from theoretical education more interested in environmental questions and how green tech can solve many of the environmental questions. With the focus on Environment and climate change we wanted to improve Innovation in vocational education and training and promoting interest and excellence in STEM for all students and strengthening digital skills and competences.
