Gard&vironment (Garden and environment) is a training course addressed to youth workers, educators, teachers and youngsters aim to develop their skills and knowledge on using gardening as educational tool with non formal education methodology. The training represent a follow up of the local youth initiative “Orto circuito” run by Cantiere Creativo. The training explored methods and activities used by working with and in a garden, transforming it in an educational and social tool to work with different target groups: children, youngsters, adults, disabled and people with fewer opportunities. When we think about gardening we don't have to think only about cultivation, a garden is a complex system that involves other life forms and all the environment around it. Insects, worms, different kind of plants and tress live together in a garden environment, the symbiosis among these different life forms allows the garden to grow up and to maintain a sustainable environment. Gardening includes creativity, attention, passion and care and it tackles different topics: environmental education, social inclusion, personal and community development as well as professional competences. The training held in Pontinia (LT), a little town near Rome and it gathered 21 participants from 7 countries: Italy, France, Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal, Slovakia and Croatia. The participants developed new competences to be multiplied in their local daily work and they will be protagonist of the training, by proposing activities and by visiting some realities of urban and pedagogical garden.
