Tlaxcala

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The community garden of the district of Tlaxcala, arises from the interest of a local association  to create spaces in which young people and children can develop their artistic, sports, social and  educational skills with emphasis on the care of the environment. The Plan Bioma Collective, through volunteering, wishes to reactivate citizen spaces in some neighborhoods, with the aim of providing playful-recreational workshops for children and young people with limited resources. Therefore, it has enabled a multipurpose room in the Tlaxcalaneighborhood, where the activities and the garden area are carried out. The objective of the project is to get children and young people involved in their own development and at the same time develop artistic and cultural concerns, promote the respect for the environment and for cultural differences, solidarity, respect for others, fellowship, etc.,

💼 What the programme involves

Through Non-Formal Education, the volunteers will hold language workshops, reading-writing, literacy, as well as activities with topics on the importance of environmental protection, ecology, cinema, cultural rescue, through recreational activities like songs, games and/or crafts made with recycled materials, as well as including music, language and art workshops. The activities during the school year focus on extra-school support (homework support, regularization classes) and recreational workshops in the evenings and in the mornings they work on the improvement of the agricultural production area. During the summer the activities are recreation and entertainment. The activities are free for children in the neighborhood and in the city. This is a space for you to share what you are most passionate about: music, theater, sports, reading, cinema, languages, drawing, painting, etc. In addition to the support given to children and adolescents, the project aims to be sustainable throughout the garden, so three times a week you will be supporting the maintenance of the space (watering trees, watering the cultivation beds, removing the weeds, etc ...). At the same time, the project is in a network of local organisations so sometimes you will be supporting the organisation of festivals, meetings, exhibitions, visits to indigenous communities with some artisan cooperatives, visits to indigenous families to learn about agroecology and permaculture We expect all your willingness and support. Sometimes depending on the activities, we will ask for your support some weekends.
