Gardening
Our three schools now have a garden and we have tried aquaponics in two of them. Wjat is aquaponics, Watch the video to know more: https://youtu.be/4DMylpQqVKI
We started the gardens in Spring 2024 and everyone the schools joined and gave a hand! Now we have to find solutions for our aquaponics, all the water evaporated during the summer break. We had worked hard on it and we need to find new solutions and ask ourselves questions to find solutions! Luckily we were clever enough not to introduce our fish in the basin before the holiday! 
In autumn we are organising free exchanges of seeds with the neighborhood!
