Mi volt a megoldott kihívás/probléma?
The term Green Care summarises all interventions that use the positive and supportive effect of nature, animals and plants to help and promote people.
Kimondottan, this involves the promotion of physical and mental health, social conditions, but also educational measures and personal development. Well-known examples are animal-assisted interventions, garden therapy, or learning farm. In cases where an improvement of the respective condition can no longer be achieved (például. in cases of severe dementia), these measures are intended to at least maintain the current condition for as long as possible.
azonban, non-targeted activities in nature or with animals, as well as pure pet ownership, are not counted as Green Care. This requires a concrete and specially developed programme with predefined objectives, the achievement of which is also documented and evaluated.
Since November 2012 interested students have been able to become a Master of Science in the topic of Green Care. The University College for Agrarian and Environmental Pedagogy Vienna provides this in a Europe-wide unique program in part-time mode lasting six semesters.
The Master´s Degree program is for all people who work in a pedagogic, consultative, therapeutic or “green” environment and are interested in the topic of Green Care – to develop occupational skills or to acquire additional qualifications. The aim of this Master´s
Degree is to educate experts in the topic of Green Care.
The participants can develop Green Care projects and implement them in healthcare institutions and agricultural business. A further key point is the collection of scientific data and their evaluation. Additional are taught theoretic learning contents for the certification to life consultant and social assistant.
