Within the project, NordGen has developed education material during the spring of 2023. This has been distributed along with seeds and cultivation material to pre-schools, schools and after-school clubs in Reykjavík. The education material consists of instructions and background material to four different cultivation experiments that can be performed using seeds provided by NordGen. The cultivation experiments can be adapted to different age groups and have the following orientations:
About 1 000 children participated in the project which is evaluated during the fall of 2023. The evaluation will lead to adjustments for the next project phase which will involve schools in the Faroe Islands and Lithuania.
The lessons learnt from this pilot project might form a base for a larger multinational project teaching children and youth about food, cultivation, biodiversity, climate change, self sufficiency and the importance of healthy food.
The project is financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
