How are we taking action?
How are we taking action?
Our community action project consists of three different parts, in which we will inform the younger students in our school (seventh grade) about composting and about our urban community garden.
Our intention is to learn about how to take care of the urban garden and how composting works, in order to communicate or share this information with the seventh graders. This will allow us to implicate the community.

We went to the orchard to take pictures and make a video. We focus more on agriculture than on composting.

On one side there are all the private parcels that are owned by neighbors and families. On the other side, there are all the parcels owned by different schools. There is also a small house where we keep all the necessary tools. Inside there's a stand for each school. Finally, there is a space with tables and chairs under umbrellas for meetings among the neighbors.
We learned how to plant lettuce, pumpkin, and garlic. First, with shovels and razors, we started preparing the ground. we dug in the soil and moved it into some straight horizontal lines. Then, we spread different seeds into the holes and covered them with soil using a rake and a little shovel which we put on top of what we planted, so that we would know where the seeds were. Then we took a “portable tap”, connected it to a water pipe, and turned on the tap for watering all the seeds planted. And in the next few days, different students will go to the garden and water the plants, until they are fully grown and ready to eat.
We hope you learned something new from this information and we encourage you to build your own garden to help your community and learn how to take care of plants. Here we leave you with some more pictures and videos.

We are lucky to have a composting space next to the school, so we are learning more about composting in Barcelona and the space we have to compost. This will be in order to explain how it works to the 7th grade students on an outing to the garden.
Composting in Barcelona
Community composting in Barcelona is a way of composting collectively and adapted to the urban environment because, due to lack of space or time, many families cannot compost directly in their homes. All citizens who participate can bring their organic waste (fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee browns, garden waste, etc.) and in return, they receive a bag of the resulting compost.
Little Sisters Space: (espai germanetes)
It is an open space self-managed by neighbors. There, weekly and occasional workshops and activities are held, and there is a community garden.

We are organizing the days in which the school families will go to water the community garden during the summer vacations. We are also preparing the presentation and kahoot that we will use to explain our project to the seventh graders. In this presentation, we are also in charge of explaining everything we have done to get them to help take action!
After the presentation we made them play a game to learn more vocabulary and learn about our goal. We also knew this would spark their interest.
