How can we help young people find a balance between a global pace of accelerating change and a daily embodied life in a local setting? We will present our experience from farm-school cooperation as a way to give school children and youth an anchor in their environment. Participation in meaningful productive activities contributes to identity-building in able to act in a global world. Our place-based educational endeavor began with the question: ‘How can we contribute to fostering hope, courage and resolve in children so that they may participate in a productive way in shaping their surroundings?’ We have developed courses for teachers and farmers who initiate a partnership for teaching school subjects through agriculture/ horticulture. These courses have resulted in a wide-range of projects throughout Norway. Through use of concrete examples and surveys/interviews we show how education for sustainability can be a result of outdoor learning when the work of the pupils is organized to allow for the forming of relationships as well as for the realization of meaningful goals. Our model for relationship-based experiential learning derived from our experience concludes the chapter.
