Project Summary

The main objective of this project entitled “The well-being of man and his fulfillment by and with nature” is the exchange of good practices, especially in the field of horticulture and from the point of view of the good human being and his fulfillment by and with nature.
This partnership will not only help to broaden the horizons of young, future professionals in the field of horticulture, but also those of teachers.
As partners from different European countries in different parts of Europe have developed different experiences in this field, they want to share them with students and teachers from other European horticultural schools as part of this project.
The international exchange of good practices during activities will contribute to the meeting, the sharing of experiences and the acquisition of new skills that will also strengthen European unity.
The project involves 4 European horticultural schools in Belgium, France, Spain and Latvia and English has been chosen as the communication language. Teachers and students in horticulture, landscape architecture, nursery, florist, farmer and other related educational programs will be associated to share their knowledge and skills and thus acquire new experiences and introduce them into a learning process and a subsequent work environment.
In addition to the 85 participants involved in learning activities, there are about 60 students and some colleagues directly involved in the schools that organize the activity. Approximately 200 students will benefit after the return of participants directly from their sharing of experiences and achievements.
The know-how acquired during international activities will be introduced in the following lessons and so colleagues and classmates who could not participate in the mobility will have the chance to benefit from the participants’ achievements.
Students with international experience are more competitive in the job market, more motivated to pursue their professional studies and to be more confident in starting their business.
In addition to these rather intellectual results some physical results will be produced together during the common practical activities: the bio-constructions, the vegetal mass of interior plants, the arrangements of parcels of permaculture and the therapeutic garden.
These results will remain visible for years after the conclusion of this partnership and will remind or inform future passers-by of the partnership’s implementation.

As a result of the publications, these thematic innovations will be reflected in the media, in the school home pages and on the Internet, which will inform a wide range of people, both professionals and those interested in gardening and the well-being of people thanks to the nature and thanks to the work of the gardeners.
