Competition for Young Gardeners by Ott Puija

Welcome to Estonia!

Dear participants, The stirring idea for the European vocational competition for young gardeners came to me in November 1995. My goal was and still is to open a chance to young people from the gardening sector to get to know Europe. Meanwhile the “European train” has arrived full steam in Estonia. The locomotive of this train was until 2005 the Association of French-German horticulture teacher’s. Out of it the Association of European horticulture teacher’s was established in 2005. The objectives of this Association are to promote European projects and to prepare and carry out exchanges of young people in Europe.

Johannes Peperhove

President of the Society of EuroThis train set out on its course from Munster pean Horticultural Teachers and the (2002) to Laimburg/Italy (2004) and in 2006 at Initiator of the European Vocational the Horticulture school in Roville aux Chenes, Competition for young gardeners. France. In 2008, the “European train” already contained 15 cars, representing 15 European countries that had participated in the 4th European vocational competition in Langenlois, Austria. Each country brings its know-how and thus the parts fit into a whole and the vocational competition is developing more and more. A participant from Belgium said very aptly: “Frankly, at the start Europe was pretty far away for me. But I’ve found out that so many differences do not exist. It’s worth it to be here and to join in, when we build up the Europe of the 21st Century. “He’s right! The association of horticulture teacher’s developed a wealth of processes and projects in cooperation with the European horticultural schools. Like lighthouses in their field, some projects shine particularly brightly, for example, the Glossary of Weihrauch/Gegu/Abel. The authors published a reading matter of 500 horticultural technical terms in French, Italian and German, many years ago. Meanwhile they have completed the Estonian, Czech and Polish translations to the collection. Such projects are an important milestone for young people to open the way for a joint future. To watch this colorful mix of youngsters from across Europe in the projects gives me a lot of fun! This reflects the diversity and vitality of the European projects very well. During the competitions I often observe, that the inhibitions among the youngsters get lost, they go with each other and develop as individuals themselves. Can I want for still more? Yes! - Because a further component of the project is to be explored and promoted. That is cultural interest. We in Europe have joint roots and values. We are shaped by religious and cultural customs. We want to bring you closer during the European Vocational competition. Learning with others, from others, in other structures and foreign cultures is a new form of learning that has become necessary in today’s multicultural society. Anyone who has ever enjoyed a personal and professional stay abroad can say with

certainty that the collected experiences helped to strengthen his personality. Working abroad is therefore more than just a change of place. Abroad, you learn to know new sides of yourselves, new characteristics are discovered, and we often see ourselves even better. We are more curious and often become more confident. To understand this Europe means also, that the participants are able to communicate verbally. In 2020 Europe is to be multilingual! This presents two tasks for us. First, we must maintain the diversity of languages in Europe and secondly encourage multilingualism among young people. The short formula is called “Mother Tongue Plus 2”. The European Vocational Competition wants to inspire and motivate you, because multilingualism is an asset for Europe. Therefore, we must develop creativity and innovation in language learning. My goal is that you build a desire to understand your neighbors. Multilingualism is a goal in academic and vocational learning and today considering the phenomena of globalization, undoubtedly is as a competitive advantage. In addition to English as a universal means of communication is even the non-classical language for some participants.It provides a competitive advantage and an advantage in training and labor. Against this background, the vocational competitions also want to make a major contribution to a Europe-wide network in the field of horticulture. Be creatively active, strengthen your self-confidence, maintain a lively interaction and develop your spontaneity. Be proud of your participation, because worldwide there is no comparable learning management system in horticulture. Participation opens doors to European countries and expands your intercultural skills. You will implement comprehensive projects in the field by self-organized teamwork. You will learn how exciting it can be to introduce your own project work in front of a large audience. This is a big challenge. I am sure that the young gardener’s will meet these requirements with flying colors and you can all celebrate as a successful winner at the end of the competition. I would like to thank Estonia’s preparation team, and especially the Räpina School of Horticulture for the planning and organization of the 5th European Vocational competition for young gardeners from 1st to the 5th September in Räpina / Estonia. Such activities require much time, effort and money. This biennial competition, however, we can perform only with the active and financial support from leading and well-regarded companies in the field of horticulture. I say to you my sincere thanks. Without your help we could not have done so far. Dear young people, You will have your home in the future of Europe, carry the European spirit further, give Europe a soul and help others to do this, who follow the road. So doing you promote the integration of Europe. Tell us where you come from, where you are going to, what “cargo” you have to carry, that can enrich us all. After the vocational competition in September 2010, the “European train” goes on further from Räpina/Estonia and in 2012 is held in Ettelbrück/Luxembourg, in 2014 in Niederlenz/Switzerland and in 2016 makes a stop in Eupen/Belgium! We adapt the train again and again in its progress. We always encourage new countries to join!

To all committed organizers, associations and horticultural schools I say thanks for your support of the European Vocational Competition for young gardeners. I look forward to be able to welcome you all in Estonia. Nice that you can come - not because you are good in botany or plant health, but simply because you exist! You are so valuable to us! I say you a warm welcome!

Dear friends! The Europe is one of the smallest continents on the Earth, but here you can find geographical zones from subtropic to the polar regions. This offers very different circumstances for agriculture and gardening – growing citrus in the south and vast tundra in the north. In spite of the large climatic differences gardening in Europe is well-developed and popular activity – so it is in Central Europe, but also in northern Europe – in Estonia. Gardener is an old and dignified profession, which requires good understanding of the nature and plants. On the one hand gardener may be the producer and on the other hand also someone, who creates something esthetical. To become a gardener, it requires a lot of patience Heino Luiga and time. However, there have always been those who desire to obtain good gardening skills. The best way to The Director of Räpina Scdo this is to find a suitable gardening school. hool of Horticulture An important event happened in Münster in 2002 – the first European Vocational Competition for the Young Gardeners took place there. Today, thanks to this event, there are many European gardening schools in close acquaintance with each other – the fairs, exhibitions, vocational competitions, joint seminars, exchange of students and trainings take place. Despite the fact that the gardener profession is known already for a very long time, there is a growing need to exchange experience and learn from each other today. The vocational competition is the best way to measure the skills. At the same time the competitions provide a good opportunity to meet and communicate with each other. The Competitions of this year are the fifth and for the first time the event takes place in Eastern Europe, in Estonia. Räpina School of Horticulture has been a member of the Association of European Gardening Teachers from the outset and took part of all the European vocational competitions. Now we have the greatest pleasure to host all teams and teamer’s in Räpina. Preparations for the competitions are going smoothly. Räpina town and gardening school have also developed and rejuvenated thanks to the support of the European Regional Development projects and we are ready to greet young gardeners and colleagues from across Europe. We are proud to have the opportunity to be the host of this great competition and hope to provide memorable events of the program in southern Estonia. Welcome to Estonia! Welcome to Räpina!

Dear young gardeners! Welcome to the 5th European vocational competition for young gardeners in Estonia! Your versatile profession teaches you production, as well as the use of machinery and the design of green spaces. You establish important theoretical foundations from the school which you then apply in practice. The vocational competition will require a fast implementation of knowledge and skills as a team. The international competition makes it possible to compare professional knowledge with the young gardeners from other countries, to make new contacts and gain a knowledge of the cultural life of the host country. Each country has a different history, nature, and other Valdur Miller customs and traditions. For the Estonian gardener the The Managing Director of door to Europe and the world was opened in 1990. At the Estonian Horticulture Asthis time the Estonian Association of Gardeners was able sociation to participate in a joint booth at an international flower exhibition in Ghent (Belgium) and at an international horticultural exhibition in Osaka (Japan). After the fairs of Sollentuna in Sweden in 1991 and 1992, there followed IPM Essen in Germany in 1994, 1995 and 1996. At the trade fair of Sollentuna in Sweden in 1992 we first heard about the young gardener’s organization and the meeting of the European young gardeners. In the years 1997 to 2004, we visited 20 members of our Gardener Association, 8 times the IPM Essen, several horticultural businesses and educational institutions in Germany. From the gardening schools w also heard that in Germany they regularly organized vocational competitions for young gardeners. We were then asked whether we were interested to participate in an international competition. At first we were a bit hesitant, but later agreed to it. The organizing committee of the European vocational competition emerged in 1998 and we could send a representative to participate in this work. Our representative was and still is Priit Põldma - a lecturer of the Estonian University of Life Sciences. Through him, the Estonian Horticultural Association has received information about the vocational competition. In 2000 the organizing committee set the dates for the future European vocational competitions. To get an overview of the professional knowledge of the Estonian young gardeners, and to identify a representative team for the European vocational competition, the Estonian Gardeners Association, with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, has organized the Estonian vocational competition for young gardeners, since 2002. The best Estonian young gardeners have always represented their home country well in the European Vocational competitions. We hope that they will do so again this year in Räpina! Dear Young gardeners! I wish you a lot of success and many new contacts in this year’s vocational competition, good luck for the future and for the development of European horticulture!
