1. What is BIOBA 2018?BIOBA 2018 stands for Biotechnology and Sustainable Agriculture Bayern. The project is a 2-week long mobility-project of the European program Erasmus + Leonardo da Vinci. The partner in Germany is Agri-Kultur-Freunde in Scheyern. The tutor is ir. Georg Gerl director of the Agricultural Friends. The sending partner is Bernardusscholen 5, part of Bernardusscholen Oudenaarde. Promotor is director Patrick Vansteenbrugge.

For whom?The Erasmus+ BIOBA 2018 will be realised for the whole Class of 6th year Biotechnical Sciences (6 TBW) of the school Bernardusscholen 5, Oudenaarde, Belgium. The group is composed of about 20 students of 17-18 years old. There will be also 7 accompanying - attending teachers for the whole period of the project in germany (1 teacher for the whole period of 16 days, 6 teachers will share the other period en accompany each for 8 days).3.

All workingactivities will take place in the neighbourhood of Scheyern, Plankstetten and the alps.4. why?The school wants to give the students of the section Biotechnical Sciences a contemporary training and education in a European context to qualify in modern technlques of biotechnology, with focus on the biological and ecological aspectsAccording to the vision of the European Union concerning the policy in agriculture, our agriculture should make the evolution of massproduction to a sustainable agriculture, with far more attention for the environ. This expires some new social requieries. The 6 goals for Europe (and Flanders) are:- Food (production)- Feed (animal feed production)- Fuel (alternative energy, energiy out of agriculture)- Fibre (natural fibres as wel as synthetic fibres , with the agriculture as source)- Flower (production of domestic plants , saving the landscape)- Fun (tourisme in nature, on farms)The most important aim of the project is to let our pupils experience these goals on modern factories and scientific centres.The specific aims of BIOBA are close to the aims of the Erasmus+ program: to support young people through education an skills. To qualify our students and make them citizens that can take part in the labourmarket, throughout Europe.We are sure that with this project our students will experience a very motivating labourpractice in foodproduction, forestery and biotechnology.
