"Most enriching day of the field trip, visit to rural areas near Luneburg" In the morning group visited Alfred Toepfler Academy of Nature Conservation at Schneverdingen where Susanne Eilers presented the goals and activities of the organisation. The main goal was to involve public in all sustainability projects as participation is elemental for successful outcome. Participation can be achieved by educating children and youth and by involving local inhabitants into decision making through dialogue. The methods organisation uses for education for sustainability are very interesting. Presenter focused predominantly on games. Truly interactive game is for example fishing banks. Personally I have played this game twice and both times we failed. This simulation game indicates how difficult to solve the situation seems to be in reality... | "Most enriching day of the field trip, visit to rural areas near Luneburg" In the morning group visited Alfred Toepfler Academy of Nature Conservation at Schneverdingen where Susanne Eilers presented the goals and activities of the organisation.

Afterwards group walked to near heathland. There they were introduced to the management of heathland ecosystem which is unique in many ways in comparison with other ecosystems in the region. | Afterwards group walked to near heathland. There they were introduced to the management of heathland ecosystem which is unique in many ways in comparison with other ecosystems in the region. Soil is fragile therefore people living there need to treat it carefully. Sheep play important role in heathland as they keep grass short thus contribute to preservation of landscape. Group met | ||
The third event was a visit Baukhof dynamic organic farm very interestingly guided by Ralf Weber. Our visit was accompanied by uncommon lunch with local farmers. So far every place we went was very inspirative and we can only hope that we will see similar methods guaranteeing sustainability in Czech Republic as well. | The third event was a visit Baukhof dynamic organic farm very interestingly guided by Ralf Weber.
