Composting and Learning

In order to make home composting part of the daily routine of the city’s schools, Barcelona City Council provides a range of materials and services to teach students about composting.  

“Composting and Learning” is an initiative for Barcelona’s More Sustainable Schools to help students see daily composting as a way to prevent waste, a theoretical and practical project based on the school curriculum, a way to increase their understanding of the cycles of matter in natural systems and an opportunity to continue working on activities relating to school allotments and vegetable gardens. 

What are the goals?

  • To help participants learn about, and understand, the decomposition process of organic matter.
  • To reflect on the quality and quantity of organic waste generated.
  • To promote participation to prevent and reduce the generation of waste and manage it responsibly.
  • To foster best practices with composters.
  • To increase the composting resources allocated to schools.
  • To encourage schools to exchange experiences.
  • To link work with composters to other subject areas, such as allotments, gardens, food and biodiversity.
  • To link the waste prevention initiatives carried out in schools and in the city.

 

You can register for the 2024-2025 training through this form. Registrations will remain open until the day before the first training session.

Sessions de la formació

Compostem Aprenem Sessio1
Primera sessió. Fonaments sobre el compostatge

Aquesta sessió introductòria apropa els fonaments del compostatge a l’escola. Es defineix el punt de partida del centre educatiu, com organitzar-se, com vincular-ho amb el currículum i, en definitiva, com sistematitzar el treball al voltant del compostador de jardí o la granja de cucs.

Segona sessió. Aprofundim sobre compostatge

Aquesta sessió tracta els aspectes més tècnics sobre el compostatge. Per poder aprofundir en el funcionament del procés, primer cal aprendre a organitzar com es fan les primeres aportacions, el temps que dura un cicle sencer, quines fases o processos s’hi poden fer i quina fauna potencial s’hi pot trobar.

Tercera sessió. Intercanvi d’experiències

Sessió d’intercanvi que s’acostuma a fer en un centre educatiu de la xarxa i que ens serveix d’excusa per repassar els punts forts i febles del treball al voltant del compostador. Es genera un espai d’intercanvi d’experiències sobre les activitats que s’hi duen a terme i es resolen dubtes sobre els reptes més importants que es puguin tenir.

L’experimentació és fonamental en l’aprenentatge d’infants, joves i adults, i el compostatge ofereix un ventall d’opcions molt generós. Durant la sessió s’ofereixen recursos de referència i es fa un tastet d’experiments i observacions demostratives.
