Yell Aquaculture – Business Partners

Leave a comment

We are very lucky to have some very enthusiastic and supportive business partners to help us with our project. We have been able to have a meeting where we all got together to plan visits to their workplaces and for them to visit us. We are able to use some of our grant to pay the transport costs for all the pupils of both schools to visit a local mussel farm and a well boat whose home port is on the island.

A 5-day exploration of sustainable food in Scotland – Click here to see the fantastic programme the cluster will experience – growingglobalfoodcitizens
Growing Global Food Citizens is a 5-day continuing professional development course for teachers.
Edinburgh City Council and Eco-Schools Scotland, together with Whitmuir Organics and six Edinburgh primary schools – Craigour Park, Carrick Knowe, St John’s, Davidson Mains, Gracemount and Murrayburn – successfully submitted a collaborative bid to the Food for Thought Education Fund 2013-14.
The Food for Thought funding award enables:
• Eco-Schools Scotland to facilitate the development of a professional learning community to share good practice and collaborative learning.
• Whitmuir Organics, a working organic farm with on-site butchery, kitchen, restaurant and shop, to design, write and deliver a 5-day course to 12 teachers (2 from each school) to increase their knowledge and confidence in identifying and understanding sustainable food systems.
• Each of the 6 schools to undertake practical projects in their own schools.
The first 5-day course is scheduled to run on: 12 November and 3 December 2013, 14 January, 11 February and 18 March 2014.
