Production Technology of Regional Food Focused on Animal Breeding and Welfare
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This project addresses four agricultural schools with very similar curriculum and activities. The cooperation among these institutions will enable them to exchange new know hows, experience, to get new skills and training. Students and teachers can familiarize with practical lessons and fieldwork, school curriculums and different study branches in similar schools abroad. The school farms, which are parts of all these instituions, breed horses and domestic animals, they deal with food production (especially diary and meat products). The project activities should explore production technologies of regional food and find new ways which could be used by other schools or be included into school curriculums. For example dairy processing (cheese, jogurt, butter), bakery and meat products , fruit and vegetable products (herbs, wine, jams, sirups) etc. Important part of the project is also animal welfare so that domestic animals were raised in good conditions and in accord with the rules of European Union. All experience can be used by other schools, students and teachers can learn new methods and approaches from the others. Before the study visits there will be a preparation for these activities when students and teachers will be in touch via electronic communication. Several videoconferences are going to be held to enable to plan each study visit including the preparation of the final products - technical notes, their design and form, the neccessary information and methods. One of the other motive is to know, compare and exhibit the different approaches of different European agricultural institutions. Therefore, we want to expand the field of food processing and animal welfare by exchanging the diverse technologies, experiences, methodologies and work produced within the partnership. Conducting joint work, both of documentation and practical activities, expands horizons in working area, while establishing an exchange of information and ways to approach agriculture from different perspectives, to exhibit and evaluate the results together , which will certainly be useful, innovative and varied. All partner institutions include new gain technologies and knowledge among the subjects they teach. During the study visits students and teachers will work on the technological notes, they will try to prepare the regional food products and food tasting for the others. Important part of the project activites is field work and practical lessons when students learn new ways how the animals are treated in other countries, they will get information about growing plants, product technologies of food etc. This project will also help to improve ICT and language skills as the project products - technological notes - will be in electronical form and compiled into five languages (Czech, Norwegian, Portuguese, French and English).
