2009 - PARTNERSHIP COMPENDIUM - Grundtvig partnerships
Project reference: 2009-1-GB2-GRU06-01471
COUNTRY: United Kingdom
PROJECT TITLE: Green Fingers
Project description
Green Fingers will use the theme of Gardening as an educational activity to attract adult learners, especially older
people, to carry out practical work with children (for example in school gardens). Green Fingers will therefore be a
valuable tool for promoting intergenerational learning and contact. The project will also be accessible for adults with
lower educational attainment. The project will allow new pan-European links to be created and developed, by both
staff and learners exchanging knowledge and ideas with their counterparts in other countries. This will give
enrichment of teaching/learning, and new knowledge on the theme. Participants will share a “common language” -
the theme of gardening - which will give them the motivation and shared interest to overcome linguistic and cultural
barriers.Each partner will set up a “Green Fingers Group”, bringing together trainers, learners, gardening experts
and those working with children. The Groups will be run on a full equality basis, with all members having an equal
voice. The groups will identify the adult learning opportunities in their local area and promote these opportunities to
participants. We believe the project can lead to further activities and networking, both within Grundtvig (especially
Senior Volunteering) and outside the programme.
