Programs for adults

• Urban farming experiential learning workshops for adults

The workshops take place in the environmental park “Center of the Earth” as well as in free urban gardens in Attica region. Trainees will gain new skills especially in the agriculture sector and as a result they will improve the sustainability of their place of residence and have positive effects on food, security, nutrition, livelihoods and self-esteem. After the completion of the workshops, they will have the potential to assist in the production of food by planting vegetables, beautify their gardens, and integrate in the labor market by increasing their professional skills as well as affecting their social interaction and self-esteem.
