Edible School Hellersdorf

Edible School Hellersdorf

We are the “Edible School” from Hellersdorf, a district in Berlin. The Edible School is a model project for holistic nutrition strategies in schools that integrates practical and theoretical educational offerings on the topic of balanced, healthy and sustainable nutrition into the classroom and everyday school life. The topics of nutrition and education are thought together at Caspar-David-Friedrich-Schule. Examples of this are: AGs, project days, student club work, events, planting the garden, and cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. The centerpiece is the school garden, which has been growing on the school grounds since 2014 and produces fresh food year-round. ; ; With the project “Networked Nutrition Education – from Elementary School to University”, the Edible School goes one step further. It is the hub for a network that promotes good nutrition in Hellersdorf. Together with the schools participating in the network, workshops, information events, project days, parents’ evenings, etc. take place in the living environment school, accompanied by specialists.

Our achievements:

The outdoor kitchen is a supplement to the teaching kitchen and is located in the immediate vicinity of the garden and the sports field. The teaching of the connection between growing and preparing food becomes even clearer here. In addition, the outdoor kitchen has a campfire site, so that on the one hand (after prior safety instruction) food can also be prepared by the fire and on the other hand, outdoor lessons are still possible at lower temperatures. Once a month, the market stall takes place in the schoolyard of the Caspar-David-Friedrich-School, offering free samples prepared with seasonal products from our school garden. The goal is to inform the students* about regional and seasonal products and at the same time to inspire them for different ways of preparation. The low-threshold and voluntary offer reach a large number of students who normally tend to close their minds to the topic of “healthy nutrition”.

Bee AG; In the AG led by a beekeeper, children learn about the history of bees and why bees are essential for our survival. Getting to know the beehive and the bees: what do bees do and why. Taking care of the beehives, making honey, handicrafts with the yields of the bees such as wax, propolis and much more under the guidance of a beekeeper.

Tarpuna

Tarpuna

Tarpuna is a non-profit social initiative cooperative formed by a team of people committed to sustainability, equality of opportunities and social justice.

We do social innovation at the service of the community, through transformative local projects with sustainability criteria. We essentially work on three basic areas of everyday life: agriculture (and food), energy, and manufacturing (the objects).

We are passionate about cooperative projects, and what motivates us is not only ‘what’, but ‘how’ and ‘why’. We organise ourselves with self-managing work, with a continuous communication among us and with all the network we build on.

Tarpuna means “to sow” in Quechua. We took this word to call ourselves because we like to give birth to transformative initiatives that have their own lives. To do this, we work transversely with people from different fields.

Social growing gardens in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, is one of our agricultural projects, with which we aim to help people with social, education or economic problems to empower themselves and to develop useful skills to live better. Sant Feliu de Llobregat is one of the cities, among others, that has bet on growing gardens as a very complete strategy to improve the quality of life of the citizenship.

Kindertagesstätte Löwenzahn

Kindertagesstätte Löwenzahn

The municipal daycare center „Löwenzahn“ provides all day care for 110 children aged between one and six years. The pedagogical concept is based on the work of Jean Jacques Rousseau, Maria Montessori und Jean Piaget, who focus on the child as an independent person.

We assume that the child experiences its environment in action and that its own actions make it satisfied. Children learn holistically and for this reason education and training areas are closely linked in our institution and are designed to be interrelated and interdependent in order to make it possible for the children to experience meaningful action contexts.

The stay in nature enables children to develop different sensory, motor and cognitive abilities. We would therefore like to offer our children a variety of experiences in nature. In addition to designing our own garden and taking regular trips into the forest, we also enjoy the opportunities offered by the edible city. Our children demonstrate manual skill in the construction of flower beds, they observe plant development, taste the different varieties and experience self-efficacy through the cultivation of their own food. We support the festivals of the edible city and are involved in the EdiCitNet project as participants of the living lab and organizers in the city team.
