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 in togetherness, enable intercultural encounters and where joint learning can take place - entirely in the sense of "Education for Sustainable Development" (ESD).
The training is a mixture of interactions and short inputs, discussion and exchange.

Costs
The accredited training is free of charge. The catering costs are borne by the participants themselves.
