Main working field(s) of the Job-shadowing activity

We are a secondary school and we provide lessons in nature, plants, agriculture and sciences. Our school is in the middle of a rural area nearby the woods. But not that far from the beautiful city of Bruges too.

Good practice or activities to share

We like to show how we work at our school. We would like to take you on a journey through our different fields of study. You can either visit a farmer whom we work with. You can learn more about plants and their environment. We would like to show you how micro-organisms are capable of making beer or cheese. You can even check out different types of natural areas where we help to conserve nature. Maybe you like to learn more about how to build up a garden. At our school, we love to be outside. We really appreciate nature in all its glory.
