15 National Reflective Workshops to explore the level of awareness about soil health in Europe

During the first year of LOESS (out of a total of three years), all partners have explored the level of awareness about soil health in Europe and identified content gaps, teaching needs, and educational perspectives on the subject.

Each Community of Practice (CoP), of which there are 15 in total, have hold a national reflective workshop between May and July with the following objectives:

• • To reflect on the preliminary results of the research on the state of soil health education at both national and European levels, conducted by the project partners over the past few months.

• • To validate and complement these results with input from all members of the Community of Practice and other important stakeholders.

• • Ultimately, to keep all CoP participants informed and involve them in this entire process.

You can see when the national reflective workshops took place by looking at our calendar.

The main aim of this first phase of the project is to establish the foundations and draw conclusions in order to begin creating educational materials on soil health in the second phase of the project.
