Would you like to learnpeasant art? The school free and free of Mondeggi could be for you! In the scenario of the occupied farm, from January to May the appointment with practical and theoretical lessons returns to carry out the work of the land in the best possible way.
The Mondeggi peasant school is also back in 2018, a biennial event that takes place in an occupied farm (they call it the Fattoria Senza Masters) in Bagno a Ripoli, province of Florence.
In these spaces, not only all the typical jobs of the agricultural world take place but also important moments of socializing and sharing a project concerning the earth.
The peculiarity of this original school lies precisely in the fact that it is self-managed as well as free access and absolutely free. A perfect place, therefore, to bring many people closer to the land and agricultural work.
Courses
The course is divided into different subjects and will take place during the months from January to May. Not just how to take care of a vegetable garden, a vineyard or an olive grove, the lessons will range from beekeeping to animal husbandry, from herbal medicine to workshops for making homemade bread and beer.
In short, there are almost all sectors of agriculture whose secrets will be revealed in the course of meetings and seminars held by farmers, technicians, agronomists and professors.
Specifically, the program includes the following topics:
- Viticulture
- Olive growing
- beekeeping
- Horticulture
- Mycology
- Brewing laboratory
- breeding
- Arable land
- Bakery workshop
- Herbalist's shop
The focus will be mainly on organic farming but conventional farming methods will also be addressed.
Who is the project aimed at
The basic idea of the project is to share knowledge and pass it on to interested people in such a way that new generations are born able to take better care of the earth with a view to know-how. The goal is to create a sort of network capable of reclaiming food sovereignty by no longer delegating such an important aspect of one's life always and only to others.
As the creators write on their blog:
"This school is dedicated to those who work in the fields and want updates on new techniques, to those who want to study and have not had the opportunity to do so and to those who would like to share what they have learned over the years and to those who simply want to approach the land for the first time. ".
