1 Green Fingers Palermo Next steps

2 Green Fingers for CESIE is: an opportunity to strengthen contact with European partners a good chance to reinforce the relationship with local partners an occasion to introduce a “sustainable” concept of environment respect a chance to carry out an important social action in a disadvantaged district of Palermo an opportunity to promote intergenerational dialogue (child – adults) and intercultural dialogue (child with a background of immigration and local child) garden in Tavola Tonda

3 Green Fingers activities: Where? We decide to focus Green Finger activities in a square where there are different centers for children (migrants children and children come from disadvantaged area). The name of this district is “Tavola Tonda” This area is very poor but there a lot of good energies and good motivated people who are working there to improve the condition of the people and of the place. There is a neglected garden located in this square that is a meeting point for the kids of this area and it has a strong power of aggregation. We want to carry out the green fingers’ activities in this garden. Continue garden in Tavola Tonda

4 The history of this garden For many years this garden was a place of prostitution and drugs’ exchange. Few years ago an association has tried to improve the condition of the district and it was able to eliminate these acts from the garden through an important action of garden’s recovery that was at the same time an important social action. The garden was well arranged and decorated. But after some months the kids of this district destroyed all that was done. In this place the people didn’t have respect for own place and for the environment. From that moment the garden was abandoned. Just some months ago several associations and centres (CE.S.I.E included) working in this area decided to start again this action but for this time we realised the importance of thinking about the ways to involve all people in this district in order to let them aware of their responsibility to take care of this garden. garden in Tavola Tonda

13 Plans of CE.S.I.E Organisation of a dissemination Green fingers’ event where all people (adults and children) will be involved. It could be an event open to the community. In order to increase the participation of the people living in this district we will ask them to cook sicilian and intercultural food for the event. The targets living in this district are local and migrant communities. Even if they live together there is a big distance between them. We believe that involving them from the beginning may help them to feel this project very close to them and motivate them to participate. garden in Tavola Tonda
