ABOUT THE CURRICULUM

The central element of the project is the innovative educational format of the "RuralAcademy". The adult education centre is practically brought into the rural regions, with the actors of the rural area themselves acting as educators and passing on their knowledge and experience to those who are interested. By linking this with tourist offers, a pleasant and unique learning atmosphere is created. The curriculum forms the content-related basis for the necessary knowledge transfer. 
The training structure of the CURRICULUM takes its inspiration from the shape of tree. The tree of rural tourism and multifunctionality in agriculture. The topics of connection between urban and rural worlds and methods for accompanying groups are always present within the curriculum.
