💼 What the programme involves
Be part of a group of 14 participants, who will support the local association "gemeinsam grün" ("together green") in creating an accessible, educational community garden on 5000 qm. People with different backgrounds, with and without disabilities, are welcome to meet and work in a beautiful garden to make our society more inclusive, diverse and sustainable. For five days, a small school class with students with disabilities will join the project in the garden. Tasks and learnings: harvesting fruits and vegetables, cooking, baking, using herbs to make tea, soap or oil, set up beds, doing earthwork, planting, learn about bees, plants and sustainability, wood work.
This project is implemented every year in summer since 2019.
