Our approach, people, subsidies
Old and new educational theories argue the extraordinary facility of learning when the first approach to the event is done by ‘”immersion” in reality, not only ‘hearing’ the lesson, but ‘doing’ it, ‘smelling’ it, ‘tasting’ it too! We set up our teaching to provide this kind of ‘immersion’ experience. Our teachers, Nadia, Erica and Ivo, all young Agricultural Technicians, know well how to teach the technical and scientific – the secrets that lie behind the processes – and to communicate them to even very young children. Each student will also be given a notebook outlining what they have learned to take home with them. This is useful for those who have come as a class with their teacher. Our hope is that these notebooks will serve the teachers to help pick up where our teachers left off.
