The representatives in the Student Network have met in person for the first time. In Alnarp in southern Sweden, they discussed and elaborated the overview of Nordic educations in agriculture and forestry that is in progress.
SNS and NKJ have created a student network consisting of two representatives from each Nordic country. The aim is to give youth from student unions the opportunity to meet and exchange experiences and ideas. We want to increase contact and foster cooperation between students in agriculture and forestry in the Nordic region.
The students have previously met online and started creating a database that will make it easy to get an overview of which forestry and agriculture educations exist in the different countries. The idea is to include both undergraduate programs, for example for foresters or landscape engineers, as well as summer courses, PhD courses, and other relevant courses.
The meeting began in a regular meeting room at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Alnarp, but ended with a visit to Borgeby Fältdagar, one of Sweden’s largest agricultural fairs. There, the students were given a tour of part of the demonstration fields, saw the entire fair from the observation tower, and took a look at the famous pit.
