About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Around the year, school classes, children's groups and families come to the ‘Stallgespräch’, an -encounter and educational project – set on a farm with animals, garden and fields to work there. By feeding the animals and observing them, knowledge and skills in dealing with different species of animals are learned. In doing so, the visitors should develop respect towards these living beings. The animals of the project are carefully accustomed to the encounter with the people and deployed within their possibilities and abilities. The project also offers the visitors the opportunity to plant, harvest and cook their own food and thus contributes to raise awareness of sustainable agrarian- and food culture as well as the appreciation of healthy food.

disassembly and arrangement of a trailer for the visitors, construction of a horse paddock and an animal shelter; renewal of the fences; Caring of the animals help with organic farming (such as weeding, digging); the work is varied and there is something for everyone
