Penedès International Workcamp

Vilafranca Community Gardens Project Fully Operational

2011-07-12T04:38:00.000-07:00

On 1st of June of 2011, took place the draw for the 15 parcels of Vilafranca urban public gardens. Two of these were aimed at non-profit entities, specifically to Mas Alborna Foundation focused on social inclusion of handicap people, and Caritas Interparroquial Vilafranca, a Christian organization that deals with poverty and social exclusion. There were more applicants than orchards available: seventeen individuals and three entities did not obtain any garden and now they are on the waiting list.

It has been three years of work, which has involved very diverse people, political parties and local authorities. In June 2010 an international work camp named Implementing a Community Garden in Penedès Region was organized, where 19 international volunteers from 12 countries collaborated to set the basis for the creation of the orchards and contributed to spread the project idea.

At this point, we want to thank all the participants for their cooperation. We are sure they will be glad to check that their work was very valuable and it had a continuity making the urban public orchards a reality in Vilafranca.

In the following pictures we can see a child drawing a sketch of the irrigation system with the help of his father inside the house, which has enabled a toilet and a closet to store tools, and a third image, a freshly planted bell pepper.

Finalització del Penedès Workcamp

2010-07-12T01:25:00.000-07:00

El diumenge 11 de juliol va finalitzar el Penedès Workcamp. És francament difícil fer-ne una valoració general; es tractava d'un camp de treball complex, experimental fins i tot, i caldrà analitzar molta informació per poder valorar els punts forts i els punts febles de l'experiència.

Tanmateix, podem dir que n'ha quedat una molt bona sensació, i la convicció que s'han assolit la major part dels objectius, alguns dels quals pioners en camps de treball internacionals.

En acomiadar-nos, diversos participants ens preguntàven què passaria amb els horts. Volíen saber si l'Ajuntament acabaria les obres i cediria les parcel·les aviat. Com a resposta, vam comprometre'ns a tenir-los informats a través del bloc del camp. Així, doncs, aquest no serà l'últim post.

Molta gent ens ha preguntat si l'any que vé tornarem a realitzar el Penedès Workcamp. És una pregunta que en aquests moments no té resposta. El Penedès Workcamp s'ha fet realitat per la confluència de múltiples factors, que no tenen per què tornar a coincidir, almenys de la mateixa forma i en les mateixes circumstàncies. Podem afirmar, això sí, que ha estat una singularitat magnífica, interessant, profitosa, i enormement enriquidora per als que ens hi hem involucrat.

Creiem, també, que ha representat l'impuls definitiu per a la xarxa d'horts urbans de Vilafranca del Penedès.

Gràcies a tot el suport rebut. Sense la complicitat d'una xarxa local no hagués estat possible el camp.

Per una llei d'horts urbans

2010-07-10T00:20:00.000-07:00

La última de les conferències del Penedès Workcamp va tractar sobre política i legislació. Com a ponents, van intervenir en Dani Lacruz, de l'associació organitzadora Horts Urbans.org, la Ramona Suriol, regidora de medi ambient de l'Ajuntament de Vilafranca, i en Salvador Milà, diputat al Parlament i ex-conseller de Medi Ambient.

La conferència tenia un caràcter inèdit: era la primera vegada que a Catalunya es parlava públicament de la possibilitat de crear una llei d'horts urbans. Es van analitzar els motius per desenvolupar-la, i es van traçar les línies bàsiques del seu contingut. En aquest sentit, en Salvador Milà va llançar una proposta d'encaix amb la legislació vigent, tant urbana com rural.

Es posà de relleu els prejudicis, les pors, i els riscos que comporta l'activitat dels horts urbans, especialment en el cas del sòl agrícola. L'horticultura de lleure és una activitat complexa, que fluctua entre allò rural i allò urbà, i que per tant requereix diàleg i acords entre els diferents sectors implicats si es vol assolir un bona eina de regulació i gestió.

La conferència va ser enregistrada per la productora de Mas Albornà. Aquest document serà a disposició del públic properament per a qui el vulgui consultar. Agraïm a Mas Albornà el seu suport, en aquest cas i sens dubte al llarg de tot el camp de treball.

Finalment, des d'Horts Urbans.org, ens agradaria manifestar la nostra plena satisfacció de comprovar que la llei d'horts urbans té suports notables. La insistència, l'esforç que hi hem dedicat, i el convenciment que aquesta llei és possible i necessària, s'ha traduït en avenç palpable. Destaquem i recollim el compromís d'en Salvador Milà per impulsar-la en el marc de la propera legislatura.

8th of July - Conference and COCAT activities

2010-07-09T03:52:00.000-07:00

In the afternoon, we have visited our last conference about urban garden project "per una llei d´horts urbans". There were 3 speakers: Daniel Lacruz (Hortsurbans.org), Salvador Mila, "diputat al Parlament i exconseller de Medi Ambient de la Generalitat de Catalunya", Ramona Suriol, regidora de Medi Ambient de l´Ajuntament de Vilafranca. Also, during the conference were present people from COCAT Organisation, who later on had candle light dinner with us. After the dinner, we played some games and discussed sustainable way of life. During the game, we learnt if people don´t share recycled ressources, humans may become extinct. It was a fun and informative evening.

Recovering Well

2010-07-09T03:22:00.000-07:00

Our Workcamp is progressing, now we can see some results, today, we demarcated preparing the land for planting, we were watering the soil and compacting the path, also polished and painted the gate and water wheel some of us were hanging nest boxes. It´s pleasant to see how we shape our garden.

Wednesday, 7 july - visiting Montserrat

2010-07-08T03:14:00.000-07:00

Today, after having siesta we went to visit the Montserrat, we took a walk there. We enjoyed it`s perfect views of beautiful mountains and small villages, made a lot of good pictures. Also we visited the Montserrat`s Sanctuary, that is home to the Sanctuary of Our Lady and the Benedictine Monastery, which has, for almost 1.000 years, served all the pilligrims and visitors who come to this unusual mountain.
On our way back we visited the Castellers (life human towers builders). This sport is very complicated even if it looks simple. In fact, many possible constructions are possible. There is a tower wich is a construction including rows of one person. The most popular other ones are the three`s and the four`s wich are respectively made with coloms of 3 and 4 people. This dosen`t mean that these constructions are the only one possible because we also saw on pictures five`s and complex towers. In a nutshell, seeing the practice was for us a real pleasure. Thank you for making us feel previledged.

Horticultura educativa i terapèutica

2010-07-07T05:39:00.000-07:00

El dimarts 6 de juliol, hi havia la conferència "Horticultura educativa i terapèutica". En l'àmbit educatiu, va intervenir la Marta Salamé, enginyera tècnica agrícola. Ens va explicar breument el potencial educatiu d'un hort, i posteriorment es va centrar en analitzar la situació a les escoles de l'Alt Penedès. Sorprenentment, la majoria disposen d'un hort o es plantegen la possibilitat de desenvolupar-ne un. En aquest punt, es va fer èmfasi en la manca de recursos econòmics d'aquestes escoles de cara a tirar endavant aquesta iniciativa.

Posteriorment, van intervenir en Josep Vilamajó i l'Eva Montaner, de la Fundació Mas Albornà. Van centrar-se en l'experiència de l'hort del Centre Ocupacional, orientat a persones amb discapacitat intel·lectual. Van explicar-nos els orígens de l'hort, els reptes que han hagut d'afrontar, les millores que han anat incorporant i el desenvolupament concret d'un taller d'horticultura com el que duen a terme. En finalitzar, ens van passar un vídeo de l'activitat diària de l'hort. Deixem el vincle del bloc de Mas Albornà, on podreu fer cap al vídeo.

Tuesday, July 6 - therapeutic and educational horticulture

2010-07-07T04:06:00.000-07:00

In the afternoon, after some relaxation in the local swimming pool, we headed to the conference held in the auditory of Vinseum on Educational and Terapeutic gardens. The specialists who were invited told us about the implementation of educational gardens in schools. Their goal is to reconnect the generation of children raised in the cities with the nature. It was proposed that some lessons, like Biology and Mathematics, could be held in these gardens. In addition to this, the projects unites different generations as they can work together in the gardens and share the experience.

The other part of the conference was to talk about terapeutic gardens, run for and by mentally handicaped people. We have seen pictures and the video of them working as a group were everybody does what he or she enjoys and is capable of doing. In such way they learn about the nature and observe the growing of the plants and therefore understand and achieve rewarding results. While watching the video we could sense the enthusiasm of the participants.

Tuesday, July 6 - Making nest boxes

2010-07-07T03:20:00.000-07:00

Today, half of the group went to build nestboxes. We were invited to a local carpenter´s workshop. He showed us how to make and assemble the nestboxes. The interesting fact about these nestboxes is that it is made out of reused wood. They are also very tough, they can last for up to 10 years. 90% of these kind of boxes get occupants. We hope that after we install our boxes birds will make their nests in them. After finishing assembling our nestboxes we went in the woods to see actual nestboxes that had been there for quite a while. They seemed in good condition and one of them hangs there for already 10 years and always had occupants. We were very happy of our morning activity and very thankful for the hospitality of the carpenter´s family. His 2 little sons were also there to help us and we saw the amazing paintings of his wife who is an artist. We thank eveybody for this wonderful day.

"Viu la Vinya" workshop (Torres Winery)

2010-07-06T23:52:00.000-07:00

On Monday the 5th of july we went to our garden Project. Some of us were flatting the soil to make use of it. We had a group digging and another one trying to fix and repair the water pipe. So everybody was working hard and sweating a lot. Some used the free time in the afternoon to enjoy the water in our pool and other had done the siesta. At 4 o clock we left in order to find the torres winery. That was quite difficult. At the torres winery we enjoyed fresh fruit wine and we were explained the differences between the kinds of wine. They also showed us their experiments about the global warming and how it affects the rapes. In the evening an expert explained us how to use and to build nest boxes for birds. So we had an informative evening. For those who wanted was showed a movie called darwin’s nightmare. After a long and hard day we all enjoyed our beds in the hostel.

Tast de vins en anglès!

2010-07-06T12:11:00.000-07:00

Dissabte vam assistir, en el marc del Vijazz, al tast de vins en anglès que oferia l'acadèmia Tastavins. Va ser una experiència interessant. Pels participants del camp de treball, perquè els va donar la oportunitat d'endinsar-se a la cultura del vi i al coneixement del Penedès, i als organitzadors del camp, que redescobríem l'argot del vi en un idioma diferent.

Comença el camp de treball internacional per adequar els horts urbans de Vilafranca

Societat - VILAFRANCA

Aquesta setmana han arribat els 19 joves que estaran a Vilafranca fins l’11 de juliol en el camp de treball internacional titulat “Implementing a Community Garden in Penedès region”. Disset dels joves, de 18 a 30 anys, són de nacionalitat estrangera i vénen d’arreu del món com ara Canadà, Ucraïna, Rússia, Anglaterra, Suïssa, Turquia o el Japó.

Tasques
L’objectiu principal del camp és donar suport a l’adequació dels horts de Melió Residencial i faran les següents tasques: delimitació de les parcel·les, pintat de la caseta del pou, tractament de conservació de l’engranatge d’una sínia que hi ha al recinte, rehabilitació d’una bassa de pedra annexa a la caseta i, en general, arranjament de la la zona.
Totes aquestes feines les faran sempre coordinats amb els tècnics de l’Ajuntament que són qui els orientaran. De fet, des de l’Ajuntament la regidora de Medi Ambient, Ramona Suriol, vol destacar la feina que s’ha fet entre tots per tal de possibilitat l’estada d’aquests joves a Vilafranca.

Durant el matí aquests joves fan les feines pròpiament del camp de treball però a la tarda es dediquen a dur a terme diverses activitats i visites per tal de conèixer el territori, començant pel Penedès, però també hi haurà temps per conèixer altres parts de Catalunya. De fet, el camp de treball coincideix de forma expressa amb el Caixa Penedès Vijazz per tal que els joves puguin viure la festa que es viu a Vilafranca durant aquests dies.

També s’han programat visites a cellers contribuint, així, al reconeixement internacional del Penedès com a important regió vitivinícola i també difonen la realitat nacional de Catalunya.

Cicle de xerrades
A més a més del camp de treball i d’aquest tipus de visites, l’organització ha preparat un cicle de xerrades que va començar dimarts i que el que vol és aprofundir en tot el tema dels horts urbans. Les xerrades es faran totes a l’Auditori del Vinseum, es faran en català i en anglès i estaran obertes a tota la població.
D’aquestes xerrades ja se n’han fet dues, però encara en queden dues més. La propera serà dimarts a les cinc de la tarda i tindrà com a títol “Horts educatius i terapèutics”. Anirà a càrrec de Marta Salamé, enginyera tècnica agrícola i experta en horticultura educativa; Josep Villamajó, director tècnic del Centre Ocupacional de la Fundació Mas Albornà, i Eva Montaner, monitora del taller ocupacional responsable de l’hort.

Finalment, l’última xerrada tindrà lloc dijous a dos quarts de vuit de la tarda a càrrec de Daniel Lacruz, d’Hortsurbans,org; Ramona Suriol, regidora de Medi Ambient, i Salvador Milà, diputat al Parlament i exconseller de Medi Ambient de la Generalitat.
Els organitzadors d’aquest camp de treball són l’Agrupament Escolta Guia Pere II i Santa Maria del Foix i l’entitat HortsUrbans.org. Els primers són una entitat d’educació en el lleure sense ànim de lucre que ofereix als nens, nenes i joves l’aventura de créixer i aprendre mitjançant el mètode escolta i guia per tal que aquest col·lectiu sigui capaç de participar activament i críticament a la societat on viu i, per tant, pugui assumir les responsabilitats necessàries.
HortsUrbans.org és una entitat sense ànim de lucre creada el 2002 que estudia i promou els horts urbans com a espai de lleure, educatiu i terapèutic.

Horts en balcons i compostatge casolà

2010-07-03T04:50:00.000-07:00

Aquest dijous 1 de juliol, al Vinseum, en el marc del cicle de conferències sobre horts urbans, els Amics de la Font del Cuscó ens varen oferir una xerrada sobre el seu projecte de compostatge casolà i taules de cultiu. L'Eva Gallego, presidenta de l'entitat, ens va explicar, en anglès i català, la teoria i la praxis del treball que estan duent a terme a Sant Cugat Sesgarrigues.

Una iniciativa local que representa una experiència interessant a nivell global.

Restauring the channel

2010-07-02T02:07:00.000-07:00

Our workcamp is situated on a very old land, the locals say it is mabe 100 or 200 years old. Therefore, there is many ancient structures that are needed to be fixed. For exemple, there is a very old pool where the citizens of Vilafranca de Penedes used to wash there clothes, it also had an other side where the water was soapless and the horses would drink in it. To water the plants on this land people would have these horses turn around a pump and water we come out of it. This precious liquid for the plants and humans then would go into a chanel made out of concreat and iron. One of our tasks was to restaure this chanel to amplify the old caracteristics of this place. You may ask youreself what do we actually do to restaure a channel. In fact, it is very simple there was a lot of earth in the inside of these concreat structure, we had to take out this dirt and the plants that went with it. As you can see it does not look like a very though job, but it is when it is 35 degrees celcius with a burning sun on youre soulders. Please take a look a this video that summarises the work this team has done and has been taken by the poeple of the disable association of Vilafranca.

Pintant la caseta

2010-07-01T13:21:00.001-07:00

The first day two major tasks have been acomplished by the A and B teams. The first one like you must have seen in the diffrent pictures ans videos is to restaure the ancient pool. The other one was to paint the main hut on this community garden. Before, the hut looked awful because the paint was falling off and it was not very colourful, now that we have painted it in a coulour that is half way between orange and pink it looks now almost brand new and inspires life.

Free time and Candlelight dinner

2010-07-01T03:07:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday afternoon we went on the bus to Vilanova beach. We were really hot and couldn´t wait to get into the water! We had a great time swimming and playing frisbee in the sea, while some of us lay on the beach relaxing in the sun. The water was really nice and refreshing after a hot and sweaty morning! On the way home we had an icecream - there were a lot of flavours and it was hard to choose!

After the third shower of the day(!), we had dinner at 10pm. Fortunately we were not starving because it has been so hot! It was very romantic eating by candlelight in the building the Scouts use. The food was really good as usual, the only thing missing was wine after a hard day!!! (We are looking forward to visiting where they make Cava!) We enjoyed the Spanish tortilla and it has been great trying new food.

At the end of the day we were all really ready for bed - even if the sports hall where we sleep is really hot! In a few days we will move to the youth hostel and are looking forward to real pillows :)

Second day- Work in the field

2010-07-01T02:44:00.001-07:00

We went with bicycle until the field where we had to work and there we painted a house, we cut the branches of the trees that hang too low, we took out the weeds with a hoe and removed the that was in an horses' trough. And when we had finished working we came back on bicycles to the sports center

Albert

First experience of the workcamp

2010-07-01T02:28:00.000-07:00

So far we have had one morning working at the site. The day began by cycling to garden, an experience that was exciting, but also scary as most people had not ridden a bike for years! We arrived and Albert explained what tasks we would be doing - cutting branches, painting a hut, clearing out a small pool and marking out the plots.

We found out that the community will be able to use plots in the garden to grow food. It was nice to be able to have a go at all the different tasks as we swapped regularly. It was hard work and VERY hot, but fun! It was also a good way to start getting to know each other.

Everyone was keen to get started and we have already painted one hut!

Donatienne & Emma

Groups A, B and C

2010-06-30T15:45:00.000-07:00

It’s about 10 pm. and all the camp participants gather in small groups in the “Parc de Tívoli”. Most people seem a little unsure about what’s going to happen. Small groups are standing apart from each other. There are all kind of languages spoken. Some phrases in French, a little Russian there and of course English with a wide variety of accents. Albert and Toni start the program and everyone gathers in a circle. There are some explanation about the activities which we are about to do in the next two weeks. Group A and B will work physically on establishing the community garden while a smaller group C has to do social work. One of the tasks of this group will be to put up posters all over the city in order to raise conscience of the local people for the importance of those gardens we’re about to implement.

(to be continued)

Tim

First Day - Arrival

2010-06-30T02:30:00.000-07:00

At lunch, we started to communicate with each other. Interestingly, our group members are from all around the world. For instance, from Canada,China,Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, Belgium, France, South Korea, Switzerland, Turkey, England and there are also local people from Catalonia. It made us so happy to meet different people and we hope at the end of the workcamp, they will become our best friends! By the way, the food here is very delicious and tasty and you can eat as much as you can.

Around 4pm, we visited the Vinseum and participated the orientation conference. The aim of the conference was to introduce the local activities of producing the ecological food. There were presentations of two local farmers. They talked about their own personal experience about planting organic vegetables and fruits. We are impressed by their enthusiams and passions of making a more healthy argricultural to benefit the local society. We´d like to support them in the next two weeks and we are ready for planting, gardening and spreading the ideas of community gardening for the local people.

ok, it´s gonna be fun!!!

Cicle de Xerrades

2010-06-28T14:33:00.001-07:00

Xerrades a l'Auditori del Vinseum

2010-06-18T03:45:00.001-07:00

Al llarg de quatre xerrades, obertes a tot el públic, es farà un recorregut per diverses perspectives dels horts urbans. Es parlarà de l’horticultura ecològica des d’una visió personal, per tal de comprendre les implicacions subjectives d’utilitzar tècniques respectuoses amb el medi ambient i la salut. Es tractaran les limitacions del cultiu a la ciutat, cercant solucions a partir de l’hort en balcons i el compostatge casolà. Parlarem, també, del paper educatiu i terapèutic dels horts urbans, i com escoles i entitats per a discapacitats els han incorporat als seus centres. Finalment, per culminar el cicle, es parlarà de política i legislació, abordant estratègies de futur que impulsin l’horticultura urbana. La setmana vinent concretarem els detalls del cicle.

Agraïm el suport del Vinseum per cedir-nos gratuïtament l'auditori.

Col·laboració amb Mas Albornà

2010-06-16T09:16:00.000-07:00

Mas Albornà és una fundació que treballa des de fa més 40 anys per a la inserció sociolaboral de persones amb discapacitat i malaltia mental a l’Alt Penedès.

La col·laboració de Mas Albornà amb el camp de treball és múltiple, i imprescindible per a l'assoliment de determinats objectius.

En primer lloc, Mas Albornà farà un seguiment audiovisual diari del camp de treball, fet que ens permetrà aprofundir en l'ús de les TIC (Tecnologies de la Informació i la Comunicació). La Productora audiovisual de la fundació proporcionarà a la organització del camp el material enregistrat, que serà utilitzat per al manteniment del bloc i de l'usuari del Facebook Penedès Workcamp. Aquest fet ens permetrà ser presents a la xarxa, i explicar on-line l'evolució del camp. La mateixa fundació elaborarà posteriorment un vídeo que recollirà l’essència del que ha significat aquest camp de treball.

En segon lloc, dins del marc de les xerrades previstes per aquest camp de treball, des de Mas Albornà també participaran com a ponents a la xerrada “Horts educatius i terapèutics”, explicant la seva experiència de l'hort del Centre Ocupacional, a Les Cabanyes.

En tercer lloc, els participants del camp de treball faran una visita al taller Viu la Vinya. Aquest projecte educatiu impulsat conjuntament per Mas Albornà i Bodegas Torres, s’hi tracten de manera pràctica aspectes sobre la vinya, les energies renovables i la sostenibilitat o els costums de la vida a pagès antigament. Així, els membres del camp de treball faran una visita guiada a questes instal·lacions situades en un entorn natural immillorable.

La darrera de les col·laboracions és la cobertura de la xerrada prevista pel dia 8 de Juliol del 2010. Aquesta xerrada titulada “Per una llei d’horts urbans” serà enregistrada per l’equip de la Productora audiovisual de Mas Albornà i s’entregarà en un document audiovisual en format DVD als organitzadors del camp de treball com a document d'arxiu.

L'equip/ The team

La organització ultimant detalls. Queden tres setmanes per l'inici del camp, i estem molt il·lusionats per dur-lo a bon terme. Aviat farem la presentació pública del camp, i n'explicarem tots els detalls. Gràcies a tothom pel suport que estem rebent.

The Penedès work camp organitzation is already ultimating the details. Still three weeks remaining to start the work camp project and we are all very excited to bring it to fruition. We will make a public presentation soon, so you will be able to have all the details in brief. Thank you all for the support we are receiving.

12 països diferents/ 12 different countries

2010-05-21T08:23:00.000-07:00

Ja tenim el llistat de participants del camp. Procedeixen de 12 països diferents: Ucraïna, Regne Unit, Lituània, Txèquia, Russia, França, Turquia, Bèlgica, Corea, Canadà, Itàlia i Catalunya.

We already have the list of participants for de workcamp. They are coming from 12 different countries: Ukraine, United Kingdom, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Russia, France, Turkey, Belgium, Korea, Canada, Italy and Catalonia.

Col·laborem amb el Col·lectiu Bosc Verd

2010-05-05T01:33:00.000-07:00

Una de les tasques del camp consistirà en construir caixes-niu per a ocells insectívors, que seran penjades als plàtans centenaris del camí de Melió, al costat dels horts.

Per assolir aquest objectiu, el Col·lectiu Bosc Verd ens proporcionarà els coneixements per a construir les caixes-niu, així com les eines per a penjar-les. Durant el camp, també, organitzaran una xerrada per als participants, explicant la funció de les caixes-niu en el context dels horts, i quin tipus de moixons esperem que hi facin el niu.

One of the work camp tasks will consist in the construction of nest boxes for insectivorous birds to hung on the centenaries plane trees along Melió Road, next to the community gardens.

To achieve this objective, Bosc Verd (Green Forest Organization) will provide the knowledge to build the nest boxes and the tools to hang them. During the work camp, there is a speech to explain the nest boxes role in the context of the community gardens and what kind of birds are expected to nest

Sínia

2010-03-28T07:22:00.000-07:00

Aquesta sínia de la imatge quedarà dins el recinte d'horts. urbans de Melió Residencial. Conserva encara l'estructura on es fixava el matxo. El sistema d'engra- natges, però, ha perdut el joc. Estem estudiant alguna mesura de conservació que poguem dur a terme en el marc del camp de treball.

Horts elevats per a persones amb mobilitat reduïda

2010-03-22T11:54:00.000-07:00
