Summary (description and reason to be)
The main objective of the project Easy Gardening is to upskill professionals in the Intellectual Disability Training field, across the EU, on nature-based training such as organic gardening by enhancing their knowledge and competences so that they can then foster PwID’s social inclusion.
The main need of the project is to foster social inclusion of PwID through nature-based education and skills development of professionals training PwID. It will be achieved through interventions that embed nature-based education and environmental awareness in the curriculum of Intellectual Disability training and through innovative processes involving digital learning. The project’s consortium consists of 6 key partners from 5 countries (Greece, Croatia, Spain, Portugal, and Denmark) with extended experience in Intellectual Disability Vocational Training, Experiential Nature-Based Education, Organic Urban Farming Training, Agricultural Science and Digital Learning. Their experience provides a coherent response to the needs that professionals in the Intellectual Disability Training sector have by complementing and adding value to existing initiatives
