2024 HarvestED Victoria

VIC HarvestED program
  • AEF

Asia Education Foundation is proud to announce our latest cohorts of the Victorian HarvestED program open to all Victorian students (any sector) in Years 7 to 9.

This immersive, hybrid, cross-curricular, agricultural learning program including a one-day face-to-face event hosted at your choice of 3 University of Melbourne locations (Creswick, Dookie or Parkville). This program is fully funded thanks to the generous contribution of The William Buckland Foundation.

HarvestED connects Victorian students across the State virtually and an in-person event for collaborative, investigative, and innovation-driven learning. Students explore agricultural opportunities and challenges and develop their own solutions to agricultural issues.

Students will meet and hear from agricultural experts and professionals across the state, Australia and the Asia-Pacific region and from a range of agricultural industries.

HarvestEd is agricultural education for global citizens. Students hear from a range of guest speakers, experts and professionals. They explore current opportunities and challenges in agriculture and develop their own solutions and action-oriented ideas. Students will explore cross-curricular content in agriculture such as sustainability, environmental consciousness, technology, automation, ethics and urbanisation.
