From 2 to 5 September 2024, the first GARDENISER EDU training course took place in Barranquilla (Colombia).
15 teachers from the schools closest to the 5 community gardens built with the EuropeAid GenerActor project. Our Colombian team of trainers covered topics related to urban community gardens as a natural learning tool: the benefits of outdoor activities, the direct links between garden activities and teaching, the educational relationship between gardeniser and teacher, the network and the educating community. Teachers were also involved in educational garden activities within the Mixed Community College and visited the community urban garden of Las Gardenias for the first time.
The training course is part of GenerACTOR project - Community gardens for good governance active citizenship and participation, a project cofinanced by the European Commission.
