About the project
WeRadiate and Wakoma are collaborating to create a novel social learning platform of hands-on activities and lessons to build stronger resilient communities across New York State connecting themes of Healthy Food, Healthy Soil, and Healthy Communities. We plan to provide hands-on training, offer workshops from professionals, and deliver in-person lessons for community members to strengthen food quality and enhance soil health.
The Steps
- Create hands-on course curriculum with engaging lessons & activities
- Locate and onboard community gardens and community compost sites for on-site student engagement
- Promote the opportunity for New Yorkers to participate in this eLearning platform
- Set-up website, educational content, and resources for this initial cohort
- Run 4 - 6 week program for this pilot cohort and receive feedback to improve future course cohorts
Why we‘re doing it
We believe Good Soil makes healthy plants I Good soil makes strong communities I Good soil makes our city ecologically strong
These interconnections are from the ground up and we look forward to engaging our community and communities across New York State with hands-on guidance and support for ecological restoration and community health. Let's Radiate Together!
