Restoration of degraded lands in response to ecosystems degradation is a relatively new science so teachers need to keep updated on the state-of-the-art knowledge and innovative techniques in order to both provide best training and engage students in active learning. Exchange of good practices across the Landcare Project addressed these principles and Landcare Teachers took responsibility for their continuous improvement. The Exchange of Good Practices on Landcare project included two dimensions: exchange of pedagogical approaches and exchange of best practices in land restoration.
