Among the many things the group experienced in Germany, for me the two most memorable was taking part with students in making seed compost and temperature-controlled humus making. We saw in both complex activities some great opportunities for skills learning in science and maths. The gentle mixing and adding of the ingredients to this seed compost, required dexterity, balance and an awareness of quantity and correct judgement of measure. Much like making a very large cake. The students knew that their work was to be the very stuff in which new life would grow. The work was done in that awareness with great pride. This proved to be a pivotal point in our visit. The students also knew most of the ingredients had come from their own hard work. What we saw here in action was the power of 'process'. When we fail to see the pedagogy in process or the process in pedagogy, we weaken the outcomes for our learners and learning for ourselves. The ‘method' of doing is in the process. Why is this so little understood. If we have to buy in from hundreds of miles away the seed compost in which we start life, we have not really grasped the process of life. When we buy in seed compost, we are missing a vital link in process that students can learn from. The doing. When we only value of the end product, we miss the building blocks of education. This alienates learners from process. As there is intrinsic value in the 'very doing', this gives more intrinsic value in the end product, when the ‘doing' is done in full awareness of process and method. This was powerfully understood by the Lautenbach Village  An ALN community  in  Germany.  This brings me to the second most important event, in terms of the German exchange’s contribution to understanding of the pedagogy of organic agriculture. We saw it not as a mere horticulture but as general learning environment. A fully functional skills delivery ‘classroom’.  We then made an earth sunk ‘barrel' compost with students.  Birch was used to line a small pit. Then a mix of cow manure, egg shells, stinging nettles and basalt powder was prepared. This was mixed for an hour to produce a rich gold mixture. This compost technique produced a very powerful hummus in six months, which was then used to ‘inoculate’ big temperature-controlled compost heaps. It was also the base ingredient for the seed compost. The number of skills learned by our students was incredible. Maths in the form of quantity, percentages, fractions, weights, adding and subtracting, multiplication, division all of it was there. Not to mention biology and wider communication skills. What was clearly shown here by the gardener, Ulrich, before our eyes was the learning that these learners would never have undertaking in school, was done with joy and enthusiasm. Eventually bags of compost were made up by the learners and sold in the shop. The students were in awe of what they had achieved and were eager to record the learning and share it. To what extend have we lost the ability for simple awe in education? And if we have lost it, how can we show our students this wonder? I think we need to convey it in our approach to teaching and fundamentally what learning is.
