It also aims at forming practical skills and a positive attitude regarding organic farming in young people with and without special educational needs. The main activities involve building a bio-garden, carrying put practical activities’ with students in it, and publicity initiatives in the local community. As a result of the project 30 young people with special educational needs (14-18 years old) from Stara Zagora and the region acquired professional agricultural skills and developed their own agricultural produce. These effects have on the one hand  increased the social inclusion of these young people and, on the other, promoted organic farming and its benefits not only for the school children but also in the local community as a whole.
