Med Culture
As Med Culture we deal with the design of experiential learning and non-formal education programs.
Recognising the significant role of education for the creation of the right patterns of behaviour and in the final formation of the future active citizens, we are already collaborating with educational institutions having developed a complete proposal farm2school.
We attempt to encourage children, but also teachers and parents, to consolidate concepts associated to Nutrition, Health, Environment and Agricultural activity through the design and installation of school gardens, experiential workshops and visits to urban and suburban farms and development of experiential educational activities.
We have also created the Open Farm network (openfarm.gr), which records and highlights the "open", visitable farms and agricultural processing units, which are located next to us or are scattered in various parts of Greece. Units that in addition to the production of excellent, quality, agricultural products, also offer services of education, experiential experience, tasting, hospitality, but also leisure activities.
