Raise awareness
The aim of the competition was to raise awareness of farm safety, a topic which is very important to Macra na Feirme, among young children. Caroline also compiled a list of teaching resources on farm safety, which she circulated to all teachers and childcare workers who had expressed an interest in participating in the art competition. The idea was that the teachers would teach some lessons on farm safety in preparation for the children taking part in the competition. Special thanks to Embrace Farm, AgriKids, the IFA and FBD’s Champions for Change, who supported the initiative with judging and prizes.
