"The green miracle of Kalk"

Did you know that pink light makes lettuce sprout? That you don't need a bed of soil to garden, just a wall?

That around 70% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050 and that it therefore makes sense and is sustainable to bring agriculture into the city and into the vertical?

In our non-profit company EduGarden gUG (see www.edugarden.org), we want to set up learning and experience locations for vertical farming and urban agriculture. In our cooperation project with the Bildungscampus Kalk (bildungscampus-kalk.de), we are developing educational programs on the topics of vertical farming, nutrition and urban agriculture.
At BCK, an intensively networked school, children and young people from all walks of life, from kindergarten to professional life, are encouraged to discover their talents. The aim is to give young people individual opportunities for their future. At the BCK, butterfly pedagogy creates the conditions for children to develop and discover the future skills of sustainable knowledge and action for themselves. This involves working with the areas of "self-organized learning" (SoL) and "learning through experience" (LdE).
At Edugarden, we develop our programs inclusively and our team is diverse. We are looking for volunteers who would like to work in the lab on an hourly basis, learn about vertical farming and get to know butterfly pedagogy!

We are looking for curious people who would like to work on an hourly basis and help out with gardening in the Lab and in the AG program, as well as someone who would like to spend a few hours a month helping us to design our website and social media and create content. We are also happy to welcome people with refugee experience and senior citizens who would like to garden in the Lab!

Curiosity, enjoyment of learning and experimenting, enjoyment of contact and working with children, understanding of people with participation needs. The corresponding knowledge for the digital world.

We are looking for people to help out in the lab on a long-term basis. For the website and social media, it will be a few hours a month for someone who knows their way around.

Certain prerequisites (vaccinations, etc.) are required for working with pupils in the AG.
