An adventurous course in education
- for schools in the City of Copenhagen
Nature return, magic & food joy
At BaneGaarden, we combine learning, nourishment and storytelling with concrete activities, while involving students and bringing the learning process to eye level.
What students experience and learn is a way to understand the connections that also apply on a large scale.
We throw words like biodiversity, ecology and sustainability into the air and pick them up again as concrete examples of processes and conditions in nature, people and on a lunch plate.
We need to learn and relearn that nature and the earth are wondrous, surprising and useful. And that it is a space we can spend time in, learn from and find peace in.
Today we also know that proximity to nature is crucial for human health. Spending time in nature, getting our hands in the dirt and growing plants, for example, is important for our mental, physical and social well-being.

The process
An educational program at BaneGaarden is an adventurous journey through Copenhagen's green oasis - 1.2 hectares of nature in the middle of the city. Together with the students, we flip through the chapters:
In the wild
Soil and compost, chickens and chicken shit, sustainability and ecology. We introduce students to the circular life of nature and the importance of helping to make the big wheel turn. Depending on the grade level, students are encouraged to draw and write along the way.
In the workshop
Once we've learned more about nature, we move on to the workshop. Here, the students are introduced to the magic of fermentation and get to take home a glass of cabbage that they have touched themselves.
At the dining table
We eat lunch together in Mellemrummet. BaneGaarden offers a good and green soup. The teacher asks questions, we talk and listen to each other and hopefully everyone goes home a little wiser and much more curious about everything.
