Unit 2 – Farm visits and refugee intergration

In this unit I will:
- learn how organic farm visits can support the integration of refugee youth.
- receive some practical suggestions for implementing organic farm visits.
- get to know best practice examples of implementing organic farm visits.
Introduction into the topic:
Farm guides and teachers who work with refugee groups must have a basic knowledge of the situation and different cultural backgrounds and needs of refugees. The unit gives overviews about the educational benefits to refugees when visiting organic farms and practical hints for the preparation and implementation of these activities. Ethnic, cultural and country-specific caused behaviors that might be in conflict with farm visit conditions should be known and considered. Furthermore, the unit presents diverse best practice examples of organic farm activities in several countries and the feedback of those teachers and farmers involved in the visits.
