From 🇩🇰 to 🇪🇸

✈️Agricultural students from Nordjyllands Agricultural School - Denmark 🇩🇰 had a great international experience

🗓️ The first days of the trip included a guided tour around the city before the group continued to Vilafranca, where they stayed 🌴

🍷 🫒 📈 The programme included visits to a local agricultural school working with wine production, olives, and marketing. One message especially stood out: “It didn’t matter if you made the world’s best product if nobody wanted to buy it.”

🧑‍🎓 The students also had the opportunity to present Denmark and their school to Spanish students — a great cultural exchange filled with enthusiasm and good energy 😄👏

😎 The trip also included a three-course dinner at a local restaurant, visits to beautiful vineyards, and fascinating insights into the production of Cava 🍇🥂There was also time to explore the city, visit the stadium, and enjoy the atmosphere of beautiful Barcelona.

🇩🇰 The FarmDroid robot is in the field at Gråsten Agricultural School

🔝 A new milestone has been reached at Gråsten Agricultural School⭐. The solar-powered FarmDroid has now entered the field and has begun sowing beets, sweet corn and fodder corn on the school grounds 🌽🌱.

👉 Thus, the work of bringing the agricultural technology of the future very close to the students' everyday lives has really begun .

👩‍🌾 With the robot in the field, students have the opportunity to experience how autonomous solutions work in field operations and how precision cultivation can contribute to more efficient and sustainable production. At the same time, working with the robot gives rise to reflection on some of the changes that farmers of the future face.

👉 Now the FarmDroid robot will become part of a living learning environment, where students gain experience with both technology, field operations and sustainable solutions.

📢 How much can students learn in just 2️⃣ weeks? 🤔

👉 As part of a pilot programme on Global Climate Smart Farming, implemented by Green Academy / Jordbrugets UddannelsesCenter Aarhus 🇩🇰, in cooperation with the Polish school Zespół Szkół Centrum Kształcenia Rolniczego im. Wincentego Witosa w Mokrzeszowie 🇵🇱 and co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme 🇪🇺 , the answer is: quite a lot.

👉 From sustainability-focused workshops to international teamwork, students were encouraged to step outside their comfort zones while exploring innovative approaches to climate-smart agriculture.

🙏 But perhaps the most meaningful part of the experience was hearing the students’ own reflections. They shared how the programme helped them gain new knowledge, build confidence, and better understand the importance of working across cultures. 🔝

👉 This pilot project demonstrated that even short-term educational initiatives can create a lasting impact. A big thank you to all the students who took part in this inspiring programme! 🌱💚

👉 Europea International is proud to be an associated partner in this initiative and will share the developed materials on our website. Stay tuned for more information!

🇨🇿 Building a Centre of Excellence for Sustainable and Precision Agriculture

✨ Agricultural College and Secondary School in Benesov, has launched an ambitious strategy aimed at establishing a Centre of Excellence focused on modern agriculture, sustainability, and responsible animal husbandry.

♻️ This strategy responds to some of the most pressing challenges facing agriculture today, including climate change, soil and water protection, rapid technological development, and the increasing emphasis on animal welfare.

👉 The main goal of the strategy is to develop the school’s existing strengths into a leading regional institution specializing in precision agriculture, sustainable farming practices, and responsible livestock management. Through this initiative, the school aims to connect education with innovation, modern technologies, and practical skills that reflect the current and future needs of the agricultural sector.

💻 🚜 One of the first activities organized within the emerging Centre of Excellence was a seminar on Precision Agriculture. In addition to our own students, the seminar was also attended by students from two other secondary schools from the Central Bohemian Region. The event provided participants with valuable insights into the latest developments in agricultural technologies and farm management systems.

🗓️ The establishment of Centres of Excellence is being carried out as part of a project called Implementation of the Long-Term Strategy – Modern and Creative Schools in the Central Bohemian Region. The project implementation period runs from 1 December 2023 to 31 August 2028.

🔜 Through these activities, our school is taking important steps toward becoming a modern educational institution that actively contributes to the future of sustainable and technologically advanced agriculture.

🇱🇺 Luxembourg women's team win silver and bronze at the European Forestry Championships 🌳

👍 Luxembourg enjoyed success at the 22nd European Student Forestry Championships in Austria 🇦🇹 : the women’s team won a silver 🥈 medal in the
team relay, and Tina Bigdowski secured a bronze 🥉 medal in combined-cut.

👉 A total of 22 teams from 17 countries took part. Luxembourg was represented by a men’s team and, for the first time, by a women’s team from the Lycée Technique Agricole in Gilsdref. 👩🏻

💪 The men also impressed on the forestry course. After 16 stations, which tested, among other things, botanical and zoological knowledge, the calculation of tree heights and timber volumes, and a first-aid simulation, they narrowly missed out on a podium place. 😕

😁 In addition to the sporting competitions, the programme also included a cultural exchange. At the ‘International Evening’ held as part of the championship, the Luxembourg delegation presented culinary
specialities from the Grand Duchy and exchanged them with those from other countries.

🔜 The next edition of the European Student Forestry Championships is expected to take place in the Netherlands in 2027. Luxembourg intends
to take part again then.

🇨🇿 National Agribusiness Competition in Benesov 🇨🇿

🗓️ This spring, Agricultural College and Secondary School in Benesov, organized a prestigious competition for final-year students of agricultural secondary schools from across the Czech Republic.

🧑‍🎓👩‍🌾 Each year, the competition tests not only theoretical knowledge but also the practical skills of future agricultural professionals. This year, 2️⃣6️⃣ schools registered for the competition.

🚜🌽🌾🐮 Typical disciplines include precision tractor driving, attaching and adjusting agricultural implements, identifying crops and livestock breeds, and formulating feed rations for cattle. There is also a theoretical test covering economics and agronomy, designed to evaluate students’ ability to think within the broader context of rural entrepreneurship.

👉 Each year, the competition is hosted by a different school – it is always organized by the school whose student won the previous year. The organizing school is not allowed to enter its own contestant that year.
The winner of last year’s competition was student Martin Schenk, a student at our school, which is why this year’s event was organized in Benešov.

🔜 Next year’s competition will take place in Chrudim, as this year’s winner was Lukas Uchytil from the Agricultural College and Secondary School in Chrudim. Our school can now begin choosing and preparing its representative for next year’s competition.

From 🇳🇱 to 🇭🇺 Study Trip for Livestock Farming Students

🗓️ During the study trip from 12 to 19 April 2026, a number of livestock farming students from Hardenberg collaborated with students from Yuverta Horst and DC Terra Groningen. In a group of 1️⃣3️⃣ students, they worked together with Hungarian students and stayed at the school building of Északi ASzC Lippai János Mezőgazdasági Technikum és Szakképző Iskola.

👉 The students worked on project-based assignments and visited a large number of companies. At the beginning of the week, Arany Parmen Kft was visited, a company specialising in the harvesting and storage of apples 🍏.

🐐 🧀 The following day included a visit to the Tiszaadony Start cooperative, a goat farm where goat cheese is produced. After that, Tulipa Kft was on the programme, a large greenhouse complex with an adjoining garden centre. 🌷🌿

🌽🌾 Later in the week, an arable farming business was visited, which proved particularly popular among the students. Some of them even had the opportunity to help with sowing activities.

🐄 🐷 🐑 In addition to visiting the school farm with cows, pigs and sheep, there was also plenty of attention given to recreational activities. Activities included visits to a zoo, a swimming pool and an animal shelter, as well as a walk through the mountain area. 👣🏞️

😁 Overall, the group received a very warm welcome, explored a large part of the region, and both the students and accompanying teachers got to know each other very well. It was a fantastic week!

🇪🇺 This project was co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, which supports international cooperation and exchange in education. Thanks to this support, the students were able to participate in this valuable study trip and collaborate with international partners.
