🌱💡In one of our tailor made courses we organized with Eduplus and Tenerife Courses, we recently had the opportunity to visit AFES Mental Health organization, the driving force behind the "Caléndula: agroecology for inclusion in mental health" project.
During our visit, we were inspired by AFES's dedication to environmental and human care, values that resonate deeply with us. The project aims to build networks with individuals and organizations committed to sustainable practices, promoting both individual and collective well-being.
We visited them with a group of professionals from a hospital in Lodz, Poland, who joined them in their activities, gaining insights into their therapeutic initiatives and rehabilitation programs, as part of the tailor-made course we prepared for them.
These encounters not only enriched both their and our knowledge of agroecology but also strengthened the sense of community and empowerment. As we reflect on the physical and psychological benefits of tgarden-based learning, we're all inspired to replicate them in various contexts, from preventive measures to comprehensive mental health support.
Join us as we continue to cultivate connections and advocate for holistic well-being!
