"""Creation of a network of facilitators for better living with plants"""

Description

"The project is based on the observation that in Europe food poverty increases along the increase in the living costs, including that of food; this poverty implies a decrease in quality and the loss of a balanced diet, what is detrimential to consumers' health, environmental balance and biodiversity.In the more or less recent past, depending on the country and traditions, families possessed the skills and had the capability and the possibility to produce their own food; they cultivated a garden, knew the wild plants that could feed them, or used them for decorative and cosmetological purposes.Plants are available to everyone and can grow anywhere including balconies. They are good for the health, the environment and personal well-being. They are inexpensive and can make a big difference in people's lives. The purpose of the Netplants project is to enable a public in social and professional fragility to discover or rediscover the usefulness of plants to increase their autonomy, to develop their abilities and thereby to share these ""plant"" knowledge and practices with other people.The Netplants project brought together six partners, actors of social inclusion spread across five countries: France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Romania. In the spirit of food ambassadors, associations and non-governmental organizations Afidel (coordinator - France), Angels Gardins (France), SuperAct (UK), Kowc (Ireland), Insitutul Bucovina (Romania) and El Tranvia (Spain) have decided to set up a European network of facilitators for a better living with plants.Our project aims to develop plant-related education and culture through actions such as:- the creation of practical guides, quizzes, educational kits, online courses around four themes (Cooking with plants, Gardening without means, Decoration and cosmetics with plants, Consume wild plants) available in four languages.- spreading and communicating a series of services to the target audience (young adults with social and economic difficulties).The Netplants project brought together 70 people from the target audience and 22 trainers around practical training courses that took place in each of the partner countries. Throughout the program, participants positively evaluated all these meetings on the organization of the internship, the agenda of the stay, the workshop themes as well as the quality of explanations. Today, more than 740 people follow the Facebook pages of the Netplants program across Europe. More than an exchange of good practices, the Netplants project has given all participants an alternative vision of food, self-esteem through the pleasure of doing by himself and a genuine openness to other cultures. .Beyond the European program, this experience continues in France. The Netplants well-being workshops are integrated into the socio-professional support programs at AFIDEL and are now part of a more global approach to access to food for the poor and promote balance and food quality: Cocagne AlimenTerre. Partner news and publications are still available on the website www.netplants.eu and the Youtube channel of the project."
