1. What is BIOTI 2016? BIOTI stands for Biotechnology Italy. The project is a 2-week long mobility-project of the European program Erasmus + Leonardo da Vinci. The partner in Italy is the university of Perugia, division Applied Biology, Section of Applied Botany, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The tutor is Prof. Fabio Orlandi. The sending partner is Bernardusscholen 5, part of Bernardusscholen Oudenaarde. Promotor is director Patrick Vansteenbrugge. A whole team of teachers is responsable for the preparation and leading the project. 2. For whom? The Erasmus + BIOTI 2016 will be realised for the whole Class of 6th year Biotechnical Sciences (6 TBW) of the school Bernardusscholen 5, Oudenaarde, Belgium. The group is composed of 15 students of 17-LB years old. There will be also 5 accompanving - attendino teachers for the whole period of the project in Italy. (1 teacher for the whole period of 16 days, 4 teachers will share the other period en accompany each for 8 days). 3. When and where? Although the preparations of the project started a year before we go abroad, the project itself will start on monday 18 th of april and end on wednesday the 4th of may. This means we will have 11 working days, 2 traveling days and the weekends can be used for cultural activities. All workingactivities will take place in the neighbourhood of Rieti, Perugia and Petrignano del Lago. 4. whv? The school wants to give the students of the section Biotechnical Sciences a contemporary training and education in a European context to qualify in modern technlques of biotechnology, with focus on the biological and ecological aspects According to the vision of the European Union concerning the policy in agriculture, our agriculture should make the evolution of massproduction to a sustainable agriculture, with far more attention for the environ. This expires some new social requieries. The 6 goals for Europe (and Flanders) are: - Food (production) - Feed (animal feed production) - Fuel (alternative energy, energiy out of agriculture) - Fibre (natural fibres as wel as synthetic fibres , with the agriculture as source) - Flower (production of domestic plants , saving the landscape) - Fun (tourisme in nature, on farms) The most important aim of the project is to let our pupils experience these goals on modern factories and scientific centres. The specific aims of BIOTI are close to the aims of the Leonardo da Vinci program: to support young people through education an skills. To qualify our students and make them citizens that can take part in the labourmarket, throughout Europe. We are sure that with this project our students experienced a very motivating labourpractice in foodproduction, agrotourism and biotechnology. Practicaly the items of food and feed were experienced at the centro Terminillo, at the cheeseproduction in Valle Santa, at the production and processing of truffles, at the winery Fanini, at the meatproduction in Norcia, production of Saffran and processing of milk in Griffo Latte. Experiences in flower and practice at the agrotourism were experienced throughout the working in the laborathories of aerobiology, fenology, fenological gardens, and the practice on Tenimenti Fanini.
