The International Urban Greening Week exchange weeks were organized as part of the European Platform for Urban Greening project from 10-21 April 2023 in AhlmanEdu, Tampere. Two students from Denmark, five students and two teachers from the Czech Republic and seven students and two teachers from the Netherlands participated in the exchange week. At the same time, AhlmanEdu had students and teachers on exchange in the Netherlands.

The students were able to test their skills and thinking in a real-life challenge offered by the City of Tampere. The theme of the challenge was visible and invisible communities in parks – how to identify them and what kind of community activities can be created and built in parks.

Before the actual challenge, the students were given a wide-ranging introduction to Tampere, its different green structures, green spaces and parks. They also learned the basics of edible forest garden and soil food web at AhlmanEdu – in other words, they were introduced to visible and invisible communities.
