Lesson 3 – Conclusions

  • Farm visit brings particular benefits for teachers, who educate pupils with difficulties in mainstream learning systems
  • Bio-Farms are ideal for teaching and can provide a comprehensive outdoor learning space.
  • Hands on experiences on farms do not only build up motivation, but also promote the use of fine motor skills and creative ability, whilst also boosting self-confidence.
  • Disadvantaged young people can have various mental or physical handicaps.
  • Disabled pupils with physical handicaps have very different practical needs. An important aspect is the providing of “accessibility” and “freedom from barriers”.
  • Beside these physical requirements and needs a special focus should be laid on behavior and communication issues.
  • Teachers, farm guides and farmers have to consider special communication needs, especially for mentally disabled youth.
