MamaTerra: New proposals for the smallest

Published: 04/23/2009 - Updated: 09/20/2017

Biocultura Barcelona 2009 reaches in 7th to May 10th and, with the fair, also arrived in the Palau Sant Jordi Ecological Festival of Children MamaTerra.

Activity led by young artists, educators, engineers, biologists… that during the days of Biocultura entertain the presence of hundreds of children who attend the festival accompanied by their teachers or their families.

School gardens 

The most attractive is, without doubt, the organic garden, which fully involve the kids, with the tools, learning about edible plants, organic fertilizers, irrigation systems, beneficial insects, renewable energy, concepts as simple and affordable to a children's reasoning ability.

Healthy activities

The Games of the biocide, around the world with renewable energy, the game of Macedonia, cooperative games, workshops renewables (sun, wind and water), care and maintain a spirit of healthy physical activity. All games, created especially for MamaTerra, will present the concepts of sustainability, respect, multiculturalism, cooperation.

The kitchen area also draws the attention of the young and their families. Small Hands prepare rich and succulent dishes pointing recipes to moms and dad…. And a great cook, the Nuri, that he will automatically maintain the charm and attention of everyone. While, yes: there will be a reward after a good breakfast and lunch, in addition to taste the newly made.

Pedagogical suitcase: MAMATERRA IN SCHOOLS

MamaTerra will also be the venue for presentation of the case teaching "De l'hort to taula”. Basic tools to reach all schools in Catalonia for the next school year. This educational material developed by the Healthy Living Partnership forms part of actions in the Action Plan of Organic Agriculture Food and Generalitat from Catalonia and is co-funded by the Fundación La Caixa.

    New proposals for the smallest what? This sounds super exciting, but I’m not quite sure what this is. Is Mamaterra an international gardening forum or something? At any rate, I’d really like to learn more about it. Any news on another coming up?
