CUFL - Urban gardening in Gdańsk, POLAND

Description de l’activité

Project is divided into three parts: INTEGRATION, KNOWLEDGE, ACTION. During 14 days in Poland together with other participants you will work in two community gardens, organise culinary events for the local community, support a garden run by orphans from Ukraine, and participate in a traditional polish harvest festival. During the project, we will discuss topics such as sustainable agriculture, permaculture, activation of the local community, community building. Through this program we will provide theoretical input as well as practical hands-on activities which will equip the participants with knowledge about Urban Farming and how it is linked to a healthy lifestyle and building a community. Participants will also gain new skills and competences useful for their personal and social development, such as intercultural and team skills. This project is a part of wider consortium of 4 partners from PL, BE, GE, IT. Additional information you can find here: shorturl.at/zEQRX
