Therapeutic gardens in 3 different schools in northwest of Syria for 1500 children.
To educate students in basic survival skills and awareness raising about:
- Food security.
- Environment and nutrition.
- Psychological effect of conflict (recovery therapy).
- Safety including antipersonnel weapons and mine actions.
- Mental Arithmetic through an online teaching for 1500 children.
Though the therapeutic gardens, well-being of children with diverse abilities and special needs is stimulated
within a flourishing garden environment.
Therapeutic gardens achieve comfort and support clinical objectives by exposure to the attributes of plants
and gardens that meet needs for special protective and preventive measures. Therapeutic gardens are
especially healthy environments providing safe and comfortable settings for children. Additionally,
rehabilitation using gardening and other creative activities in a therapeutic garden has been found to have
positive health effects on people with stress-related trauma.
General Activities:
Introducing children to the world of gardening allows them to be immersed in a new environment – one that
is natural, beautiful and non-threatening. These gardens will be designed specifically with the needs of
children in Syria who have suffered the trauma of conflict. Spatial considerations, the use and control of
materials will enhance the therapeutic process and support relief from stress, promote a sense of well-being,
and provide a distraction from psychological symptoms. It should be a calming and relaxing child-friendly
space. Also, providing those children an online Mental Arithmetic by qualified trainers and prepare them for
international competitions.
