In Seville, from 30 September to 4 October 2024, gardenisers, volunteers and community garden members from France, Italy, Austria and Spain came together to share best practices.
The Seville mobility was packed with inspiring activities:
Day 1 Exploring the aquaponics project at the Technical School of Agronomical Engineering Universidad de Sevilla, the Universidad Pablo de Olavide lagoon and gardens in collaboration with the CEI CamBio, and the Vega de Triana gardens.
Day 2 Visiting the 'Ramón Amaya. Objetivo Flamenco' exhibition (Factoría Cultural) and the permaculture project at CEPer Polígono Sur, alongside several gardens in the Infanta Elena Park such as the HuertoDown (Down Sevilla) , the Asociación Plantamos Vida and other private gardens.
Day 3 Discovering the gardens of Alamillo Park, with a pottery workshop and herb distillation session, and the CEAM gardens in Pino Montano, guided by local experts.
Day 4 A deep dive into the unique history of the Huerto del Rey Moro, a community-managed heritage garden in the heart of Seville's historic centre.

This learning mobility activity serves to reinforce the value of hands-on experience and collaboration, putting in value the strong impact of learning abroad.
