INTO THE LAND
The Soil School
COMMUNITY ACTION LEARNING
The Soil School - Denmark (Jordens Skole) is a non-profit organization that aims to bring lost knowledge and practical skills on natural food production back to the people.
We believe that growing food can be climate-friendly and contributing to thriving ecosystems.
We view gardens, town- and school fields and small-scale farms as transformative educational spaces for ecoliteracy and regeneration of the land.
They are also potentially the main and most sustainable sources for food in the future.
Our joy is to inspire humans to become co-creative parts of nature.
Through involvement and learning with hands and bodies, we set our gaze on nature
– and ourselves – in motion.
TEACHERS TRAINING
We offer teachers training in creating permaculturegardens with children and youth (‘Skab permahaver med børn) which currently is the only one of its kind in Denmark. The 1-year part time course is for teachers in schools and kindergartens, community workers, artists, parents and others who wish to create permanent sustainable and climate-friendly learning gardens with children. The education includes didactics in outdoor settings, nature connectedness and awareness. project management and regenerative methods and practices eg. permaculture.
GO TO GARDEN
We have 5 years of experience in bringing together communities for nature- and soil connection, where children, youth and adults can experience inspiring learning and cutting edge nature-friendly growing methods and reconnect with the richness of nature. We help to gather groups for long term involvement and provide the group with a skilled teacher that can guide them. Community Gardening is often connecting those who own a garden, a piece of land or a backyard with those who do not have access to soil in their everyday lives.
MEANINGFUL COMMUNITIES
We offer workshops on how to initiate and facilitate meaningful and sustainable communities. There is more chance that we will make the changes needed in our lifetime if we do it together. Hosting communities for at longer commitment demands skill that we gladly share.
