Education
Good instruction in floristry is vital to our industry. The foundation of craftsmanship and entrepreneurship is taught in school. But not all of our member countries (can) offer the same level of instruction in floristry.
Florint’s Education Policy focuses on the development of a common curriculum and assessment system for schools that teach floral design. We work with a network of floristry schools to put this policy into action.
But education isn’t limited to schools; we are all life-long learners. So we also provide you with business tutorials, success stories and other educational tips for floral entrepreneurs here. That way, everyone can benefit from all of the expertise collected by Florint over the years.
