Solidarity Gardens (SOLIDGAR)

The Solidarity Gardens project helps rural communities and young people affected by wildfires to bring green spaces back to life. It offers learning chances about protecting the environment and including everyone. The project also works on climate and environmental problems by creating community gardens in rural areas.

Project Goals:

1. Help rural communities affected by forest fires by teaching young people and others how to restore green spaces.
2. Start and support community gardens in Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and Morocco to protect the environment and bring people together.
3. Teach local communities about climate and environmental issues, encourage young people to join in, and create spaces where everyone feels included.
4. Work with different organizations to make the project stronger and keep the community gardens going for a long time.
