So, what does training at Catfarm look like? 😸

This video shows a few moments of our last Erasmus+ Project we hosted in Catfarm: Voices of the Earth in April/May of this year. This one was about clay, community and communication, but our projects can cover many different topics.

We are happy to offer tools for non-formal education, supporting people to feel more empowered. And it can include a journey of dance, collaboration, exploration and why not: step wildly and model clay until you have the clothes and body covered by it!!

Why this matters: youth workers often face hot moments (conflict, anxiety, low trust) with few embodied, creative tools that are also safe, green and affordable. Our approach treated clay as medium, metaphor and material, helping young people express, co-create and decide together.

Stay tuned for more trainings and youth exchanges coming up later this year and next year!

Secret Tip: We are already receiving applications for the NEXT TRAINING IN OCTOBER! “From Power to Empowerment” → Check our bio and discover more about it.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Voices of the Earth Erasmus+ training. Where we got to put our hands in the clay, dancing with it, learning how it can be a tool for expression. Singing together, letting our voice be heard. Learning about group facilitation methods and effective communications techniques that the participants can directly bring to their projects and communities.
We connected with our internal psychological characters through sculptures, as well as enjoying the silence of nature and listening to the history of the land.

Reimagining Agricultural: a look at regenerative pasts, presents and futures.

22nd of April 19:00 CET
Participation is free

Dara Casey has been studying and practicing regenerative agriculture since 2017. These studies have included spending time with indigenous farmers practicing ancestral methods, such as Mayan and Xocimilcan farmers in Mexico, Amazigh farmers in the Oases of Morocco, and the Karen forest people in Northern Thailand, and also modern methodologies, studying at, among other places, a research centre for syntropic agriculture in Brazil.
He will be giving a workshop on regenerative agriculture, in which he explores the question of how we have arrived at our contemporary land management practices, as well as offering the insights into different regenerative practices from around the world.

This year we planted over 1300 trees and other perenial plants in our agroforestry project in Cateau (our 1.5 hectare terrain dedicated to forest gardening)🌱🌿🌴🌳🌲🌵 Around 200 of them were fruit trees and the rest are trees planted in high density to create a forest and get the syntropic effect✨ Much gratitude to everyone involved ♥️

If you would like to learn more about planting and managing forest gardens come to Catfarm next year!
