The following modules include relevant topics about starting and/or running a community garden as a project for social integration of migrants. Be aware of the skills necessary for current and future garden managers as well as the challenges in community gardens.
Before looking at the modules, here is an overview of all five training sections and a short introduction on how to use them.
Please go through this introduction carefully to gain as many skills and as much knowledge from the modules as possible. Depending on your needs as a garden manager, there are the following options for using the modules.
- You can quickly browse through the five modules to get an overview of the content and then have a second, deeper look at the topics which you really need to know.
- You can go through all the modules step by step, as the content has been compiled from the main challenges and topics identified during the UGAIN project and, therefore, a broad range of important knowledge is provided. Not everything will be relevant to your current situation – but maybe it will be in the future.
- You can go through the modules on your own or do it in a group and exchange your findings or opinions about the information provided.
