Sustainable ways of living workshops for young people
The farm is running a series of educational workshops to teach young people about ways to live sustainably. These workshops will offer the opportunity to learn how to use natural and recycled materials to make what we need. There will be key skills taught that equip young people to live a resilient, sustainable life including, growing food, composting, woodworking, pottery, sewing, natural dyeing, felting and making simple herbal remedies. Kentish Town City Farm is offering this training at a time when there are few opportunities for young people to learn these skills so we are very pleased to be able to offer this training for free.
The workshops are open to young people aged between 8-12 years and 13-18 years. They are free to attend but you need to register so we know numbers attending.
