A schools’ competition challenging pupils from across Northern Ireland to ‘Dig in!’ and put their creative skills to the test while learning about farming has launched for 2021.
The annual competition is open to all playgroups, nursery, primary, and special schools in NI and is run by the Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU), in partnership with Bank of Ireland Virtual Farm Weekend and Asda.
This year’s theme ‘Celebrating 10 years of Open Farm Weekend’, also marks a decade of the UFU’s food and farming education resource ‘Dig in!’, which encourages pupils to learn more about food, farming, and the countryside.
