Organic.Edunet is a multilingual federation of learning repositories with quality content for the awareness and education of European youth about Organic Agriculture and Agroecology.
Organic.Edunet aimed to facilitate access, usage and exploitation of digital educational content related to Organic Agriculture (OA) and Agroecology (AE). It has deployed a multilingual online federation of learning repositories, populated with quality content from various content producers. In addition, it has deployed a multilingual online environment (the Organic.Edunet Internet portal) that will facilitate end-users' search, retrieval, access and use of the content in the learning repositories.
The project studied educational scenarios that introduce the use of the Organic.Edunet portal and content to support teaching of topics related to OA and Agroecology in two cases of formal educational systems, i.e., high schools and agricultural universities. Furthermore, it evaluated project results in the context of pilot demonstrators in pilot educational institutions, as well as through open validation events where external interested stakeholders were invited.
Organic.Edunet focused on achieving interoperability between the digital collections of OA and Agroecology content that producers in various EU countries have developed, as well as facilitating publication, access and use of this content in multilingual learning contexts through a single European reference point. In this way, digital content that can be used to educate the European youth about the benefits of OA and Agroecology has become easily accessible, usable and exploitable.
