Humanity is facing an environmental crisis without precedents, and the rise of food prices is rocketing! Isn’t it time to get our hands dirty, and start to educate future generations to grow their food?
School gardening might help with that! It will familiarize your learners to become responsible for the environment while enlightening their minds with the beauty of nature.
This course is an introduction to the world of existing agriculture and gardening methods to put the participants in the condition of building a garden for their school.
Participants will learn about climates, types of soil, seeds, and plants, and how to create food and medicines with them. They will also learn how to take care of plants and trees as well as how to use existing and recycled materials to create compost.
Participants will also analyze different garden and water irrigation systems in order to learn to design a well-structured garden for their school. Finally, they will discuss the practice of “urban gardens,” i.e., the possibility to use concrete areas in a city to create green-spaces.
By the end of the course, participants will feel more confident in guiding their learners (from primary or secondary school) to create together a school garden. They will acquire an innovative method to make their students build connections with the environment and establish a sense of community.

Reviews about this course
Fernanda Maria Pinto da Costafrom Portugal5 stars
This training was very useful and enriching for my professional activity. This allowed me to observe, rethink, and share other perspectives and significant activities. This training provides me with tools that will help me motivate my students and strengthen their capacity for innovation and sustainable intervention in the world and the reality we live in.
The activities were well prepared, the teacher was very nice and understanding and gave us the time to ask questions and debate our ideas. The contents were adequate to my teaching level and possible to be done with my students. Street activities were very good.
