The University of Bonn is a partner in the pilot project entitled “CampusAckerdemie”, in which we are collaborating with the nonprofit Acker e.V. to promote sustainability as part of teacher education.

Students acquire the complete set of farming skills required for effective teaching of an in-school gardening class, including planting, cultivation and usage of up to 30 varieties of vegetables. Supplemental workshops are also conducted on pedagogical methods as part of sustainability-related teacher education.
Building upon the multiple award-winning educational farming program GemüseAckerdemie, the CampusAckerdemie project is designed for participants to acquire skills around planting and sowing, crop care and harvesting as group activity, providing helpful instructions. Students are supported by a farming coach and teachers of biology subject didactics.

This video provides an introductory look at Campus Ackerdemie.
