Project summary: 

“Fro de Bauer” was an innovative project in which a unique approach on how to teach young citizens between 10 and 11 years of age about agriculture was developed and implemented. Through tactile and collaborative learning, workshops and a farm visit, young citizens were given the opportunity to gather hands-on experiences to build their own opinions on agriculture. The project activities were included seamlessly in the curricula of Luxembourg primary schools. It built on the cooperation of a broad range of players, helping to improve the image of agriculture in Luxembourg and enhancing the appreciation of foodstuffs.

Project results: 

1 300 school pupils from 83 classes took part in the “Fro de Bauer” programme during the 2018/19 and 2019/20 school years.

The 20 participating schools represent 13% of Luxembourg’s primary schools.

The project created 1 full-time and 2 half-time jobs (2 FTE).
