One-day seminar: Intercultural learning in the school garden
School gardens are ideal for encounters with nature. However, gardens are also places that open up completely new perspectives for cooperation, enable intercultural encounters and where joint learning can take place - entirely in the spirit of "Education for Sustainable Development" (ESD).
The training is a mixture of interactions and short inputs, discussion and exchange.
