PROJECTS

Schools Programmes

FLAME with its base at Phoenix Academy is devoted to the education of young people. Students from Phoenix Academy as well as seven local primary and pre-schools attend educational sessions on the farm, where they learn about growing and animal handling. They are able to play with rabbits and collect eggs from the chickens which makes education fun.
