1. To acquire new green skills for the development of a sustainable industry, which extends professional development in horticulture and landscape gardening for both educators and students. 2. To develop teaching material with pictures, in English and Plant names Latin that could be used in teaching horticulture and landscape gardening in educational institutions in the member countries and in other European agricultural and horticultural schools.
This project was implemented to strengthen international cooperation between horticultural schools in different European countries, to strengthen their capacity and the prestige of agricultural education, and to promote the involvement of young people in agricultural production. In many European countries, vocational education lacks advanced professional teaching literature, therefore, within the framework of the project, vocational subject teachers developed teaching materials on current topics in the horticultural sector. An important component of the project was the professional development of horticultural teachers on current events in the sector, innovations, the use of new teaching methods, and cooperation with various industry companies, as teachers have limited opportunities for professional development in their own countries. Within the framework of the project, learners had the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills by actively participating in learning activities on the impact of climate change on plant growing, organic plant growing, and innovations in the sector, so that young people would be competitive in the European labor market.
