Oh what a day! On the first day of the #Lecce Academy Meeting, we explored the countryside around the city, turning an organic farm into our outdoor classroom, experiencing first-hand the benefits of access to rural areas to our urban lives. We saw and learned about Team Lecce’s project in the botanical garden, made lamps out of the reeds that grow there, and saw the place come alive in the evening with a beautiful performance and a fantastic community of supporters and volunteers.
Thank you again to all at @ortijanub for making the magic happen!

We‘re visiting #TeamOslo and their circus garden party today! Throughout the summer, the team worked with youth from the Grønland neighborhood, giving them summer jobs to plant and care for their #urbangarden – this is their end-of-summer celebration together with partners, neighbors and the whole community! The children are laughing and having a grand time 😃🎪🎯🤹🏼♂️🌱
