2 - Green refit following, or the creative garden

objectives
:
- to make Pekarna´s garden a place for creativity, realize some original/artistic projects (get some practical skills, share ideas with other, breed enthusiasm and motivation)
- a socially open space : to change the perception of the place by getting in touch with the local users and involving them in the projects, thus creating not only artistic but also long term and adapted structures
- to use the space according to some ecological and renewable principles, and thus promoting and informing people about it (recycling, gardening)

The idea of the project directly comes from what was implemented during the Youth exchange, but on long term ( some projects remained unfinished, some ideas didn´t have time to take shape), and insisting on the social interest.

Steps of the project :
- to build a "box of ideas" to put on the garden, with a sign to explain what is it (if you have an idea about what you would like to see in the garden + contact where you can share your idea )
- to make up a team of volunteers (at the begining, the slovenian participants who were already involved in the youth exchange, EVS volunteers...and then whoever is interested)
- to spread the info about it ( postacard with the picture and the adress of the box + date of meeting with all the volunteers who want to join the project, or just contact)
- to have regular meeting (one day or afternoon per week) to discuss ideas and above all, to realize them in practise
- to have meeting with the responsible of the place to check to possibility of the projects

ideas already in mind :
- to highlight the meaning of the recycling trash cans by adding some signs
- to enlarge the gardening space with flowers, bushes, fruit trees
- to bring some soil to make up some small hills
- to add some games for a playground space( for more ideas, view the complete list "idejo so v zraku" )

what is needed :
- a free acces to the different places where we can find trash (at the time of our meetings), a precise list of what is inside, what we can use and what we can not. ( a photographic list will be on the blogg soon)
- some financial support to pay for the extra material we will need (glue, colours, rope, some tools...) even if the point is to use mainly what we already have.
- some advicing support for gardening, building...

to be continued...and eventually modified...
