The main reason of the project “European Certificate of Floral Design-FlorCert” project was to export the experiences made in the pilot project in Sweden in 2007-2008. The addressed problem in Sweden, namely the secondary level florist education being vaguely described due to its status as a subsidiary profile within the craftsman programme in the National Curriculum, is the initial reason for a Florist Certificate. In other words, the Floral Design Certificate was created as a result of a need for a quality assurance tool/diploma of the secondary school florist educationThe FlorCert has proven an excellent tool to ensure quality and content meanwhile improving the desirability and vocational pride of the education. For the teacher the work with FlorCert has given them a great tool to get and insight in other countries educational system. They have raised their competence when it comes to assessment. In the project there has also been a vast exchange of ideas, networking and practical and theoretical workshops and seminars stressing pedagogical methods, learning outcomes and floristic development. The most tangible outcome of the project has been to reach a consensus of methodology and learning outcomes in the florist education, among the partners, and how FlorCert translates to the different school systems. More intangible outcomes - as are already to be seen on the pilot schools in Sweden – has been an increase in the attractiveness and status of floristry and floral design education and the students employability. The consortium consists of four well-established upper secondary level schools with a high-level of competence among the key staff: two in Sweden, one in Italy and one in Finland, and furthermore the Swedish Florist's Florist association - F.Y.R. - with internationally renowned expertise.
