Primary objectives

Through this project, we aim to increase understanding of the pedagogical value of school gardens and their significance in ecological cultivation, sustainability, and interdisciplinary learning among politicians, administrators, and educators in Møre og Romsdal. We work to integrate ecological school gardens into municipal and educational plans in the region, emphasizing the pedagogical value of school gardens as a resource for teaching and learning.
