PARTNERSHIP PROJECT FLORNET IN THE GERMAN MEDIA

“Re-developing the international education European Master in Floral Design as an effective driver of cooperation of employers and the educational field”

Tuesday, June 18th and Thursday June 20th the Summer Exhibition 2013 will take place at de Groene Welle in Zwolle. Under the heading "Feast for the eyes!" different VET  students of the department Dynamic Floral Design will display their craft, demonstrate the current trends in flower arrangements and show possibilities that floral objects can have for businesses.

When the Leonardo da Vinci partnership started two years ago on its mission of the development and implementation of an education and certification system for assessors at a proof of ability in colleges and judges in competitions of floristry design, we knew that the level of ambition was quit high. At the end of this project it may be concluded that the mission was successful.

On Tuesday September 4th 2012 the annual festival Floral Movement took place, this time at the Floriade in Venlo.
On the programme were, inter alia, the final of the Dutch championship for juniors 2012 (Silver Tulip trophy) and the final of the Bouquets contest 2012.

After two years of intense preparatory meetings and 5 successive pilots in 5 different countries the last and conclusive meeting of the Judges Certification project took place on 5, 6 and 7 June in Birmingham (UK). It took 3 demanding meeting days, with intensive but constructive discussions and resulted in a successful rounding off of the project.

It is a year ago now, that the Judges Certification Project was granted by the European Leonardo da Vinci fund. For many months now, the group of people from the 8 partners in the JudgCert Project has been working on the development of an approach for assessing candidates who want to obtain the certificate of “assessor at practical exams” and / or “certified professional judge in floral design”.
