Territorial Hubs
Territorial hubs work as physical or organizational focal points, often repurposed public buildings, community centers, or farms, that ground agroecological transition in a specific place. They give people something concrete to gather around: a shared garden, a seed library, a co-working space, a training kitchen. That’s what makes an abstract idea like “agroecological transition” tangible and something the community actually experiences.
Participatory Stewardship
A hub’s real strength is bringing different people into the same room: farmers, schools, municipalities, civil society groups, youth, migrants, elders. Relationships are the basis for community owned stewardship of food and eco systems
Resilience through diversity
Hubs host a mix of activities (education, cultivation, cultural exchange, advocacy) and a mix of people, so the network stays strong even if one thread weakens. It’s the same principle agroecology applies to farming, diversity and resilience, applied to community life.
Capacity Building for Institutions
Beyond schools, we work with civil society organisations, movements, and public administrations to strengthen the capacities needed for ecological transition. Our work focuses on developing practical tools, collaborative processes, and policy engagement rooted in real territorial experiences.
An approach to collective awareness and learning
Experiential Ecoliteracy
Educators from the community develop place-based, hands-on learning approaches for the whole community that build ecological understanding through direct experience. Core themes include soil, biodiversity, seeds, food systems, and agroecology as interconnected living systems.
Agroecology as a local framework
Agroecology is introduced not only as a set of farming practices, but as a lens to understand relationships between ecology, culture, and social justice, linking environmental education with active citizenship.
Learning Rooted in Territory
A special focus on the teaching community on how to use landscapes, farms, markets, school gardens, and everyday environments as educational spaces, connecting school curricula with the places the communiy inhabits.
Participation & Co-Creation
The activities in the territorial hubs hold space for participatory approaches and collective engagement. Formal and informal groups can use the hub as location for their events, and we explore how to facilitate collective inquiry, shared decision-making, and collaborative activity design.
Cultural & Creative Approaches
Art, storytelling, and creative practices are integrated into pathways to deepen ecological understanding, strengthen emotional connection to nature, and encourage reflection.
Multi-Stakeholder Learning
Local institutions are approached as part of wider learning ecosystems. The local administration are encouraged to collaborate with farmers, community organisations, cultural actors, and institutions to extend learning beyond the classroom.
News from our blog
Our approach recognizes that the rights of nature can only be realized through the renewal of our communal bonds and the shared responsibility of care. Through participatory governance, education, and collective action, we aim to restore our resources as living commons, where ecological regeneration and community regeneration are inseparable.
