Return lecture for Roma Tre University students of a first analysis of the pilot survey on the impacts of community urban gardens led by Prof. Pasquale De Muro and Laura Silici, with the support of Livia De Mattia and Vittoria Natale.

161 students from the sustainable development laboratory of the School of Economics and Business Studies were involved in the survey conducted at 8 urban community gardens in Rome, with 407 gardeners and 425 non-gardeners interviewed, a great participation thanks to the great willingness of the gardeners and gardenisers.

An experience that exceeded expectations, where the human factor was central and brought many new skills to the students: communication skills, professionalism in presenting their work, interpersonal skills and specific skills related to the garden and the environment.

Gardeniser Community is a European project supported by Erasmus+ INDIRE and coordinated by Replay Network aps, which also runs in parallel in Austria with Gartenpolylog and in France with Pistes-Solidaires.
