Community Empowerment through Community Gardening
The study visit aims to show various forms of support for the local community, with an emphasis on the creation of community gardens. Participants will learn what such a garden is and what its benefits are. During the celebration of the sixth anniversary of the opening of one of the community gardens in Skopje, participants will talk to gardeners and take part in workshops. They will be among others to learn about gardening and permaculture, as well as about different cultures. In addition, participants will have the chance to visit a local goat farm. Throughout the trip, participants will have the opportunity to network and discuss further cooperation. After the study visit, a local event will be organised in Poland.
