Greenhouse plants occupy an area of 10,512 m2 and amount to 25,000 seedlings planted. Annually, SIA Getliņi EKO produces about 500 tonnes of tomatoes.

Cultivated plants are grown in mineral wool and hung in planting beds positioned 70 cm above the ground level. The nutrition for the plants is provided with the assistance of computerised fertiliser mixing and dosage programme which provides plants with the necessary nutrients. | https://www.getlini.lv/en | |

| Truancy and school failure | Serranía de Ronda, Spain | This project aims to colaborate with programs from seven high schools to fight against truancy and school failure, through the development of a program that specifically follows those vulnerable students.

To sum up, they want to encourage youth associations. Likewise, the active participation of families in the educational community and in the school council is required. Besides, family intervention teams from community social services aim to improve their services, since they look after a large number of families, and need to prioritize high-risk families, leavind "lower risk" families outside the necessary attention that allows the modification of truant behaviors. Finally, families tend to want their kinds to spend as much time at school as possible, which shows how much responsibility they give to educational institutions. | Juglares is a project which aims at collaborating with different programmes from the seven secondary schools in the region. There are some common characteristics among young people from these secondary schools that lead local agents to act carefully to avoid the risck of truancy and school failure. There is a noted young group from the secondary schools that are already at a disadvantage (personal, familiar, social or cultural) compared to the rest of young people. That is why they need special measures to meet their needs. Two types of action are taken: dynamisation of young people's participation in the educational community and dynamisation of families' participation in the educational community. Within the educational centres and while the project Juglares is being developed, the people responsible for the porgramme are present in the different meetings to talk about issues related to participation and implications of young people and their families in the educational community. In every meeting and interview a report is filled in order to keep track of the process and each specific case. A protocol has been established for those who have llost the right to attend the centre and actions and activities are carried out to support the educational tasks entrusted to them. Moreover, they carry out other tasks to help young people to improve their attitude and behaviour to avoid the possibility of dropping out of the educational centre. | http://www.cederserraniaderonda.com/ (Español) | |
