Intercultural Gardens: New Ways of Learning
Objective of the learning partnership is to initiate and generate new learning processes resuming the results of
competence balance, to test new ways of education, furthermore to exchange information and experiences among the
participant organisations, to evaluate and to spread the results.The learning partnership will be the first step to further
co-operation and networking in this area on a European level - not only among the project managers, but also among the
gardeners. In 2008, two new partner organisations will join the project, in 2009 two further organisations. In the end,
the gardeners will be able to manage autonomously their project and also the European network. Lingual diversity is
one of the most important ressources of the gardens. Intercultural gardens are locations where immigrants make use of
knowledge they bring along and generate new ideas and capacities to develop and accomplish their own life
perspectives. They are locations in which distinctive learning processes will be initiated and transcultural knowledge
will be produced. Learning processes in the gardens depend on the participants, the potentials and resources of the
gardeners, local/regional circumstances, political conditions etc. In every case, intercultural gardens as learning
locations promote knowledge and competences in the following areas: biological gardening, intercultural
communication, social competences, language competence, education of democracy and tolerance and especially civic
engagement, fundraising, self organisation etc. Target group of the garden projects are immigrants of different
national/ethnic background and native citizens. Step by step, the garden projects and the European network shall be
autonomously organized by the gardeners.
