That's really great. Of all the things constantly added to the expectations on schools, this is one that can have such a massive impact on many levels.
- mantas 9y agoWe have same thing in Lithuania. I also learned some basic woodwork. The lessons were super lame though due to few resource to have hands-on work. It was pretty much a useless lesson that everybody saw as OK to skip if you felt like it. Fun thing is, I hated those lessons. I fell in love with this kind of work later on though. Now I want a wood workshop in my garage. Need to afford a garage first though... Anyhow, this kind of lessons is definitely helpful. I see them as sort of compilation of "how to X" Youtube videos. With a teacher to help you with more complicated steps.
- tyfon 9y agoThat is also a subject here containing woodwork, knitting and sowing among things :) The woodworking/mechanics part is called "sløyd" and the other is "forming" (shaping).
