¡Mi experiencia como voluntaria en Boodaville Barcelona 2022! – Vianna

la experiencia de Vianna de un año como voluntaria para Boodaville Barcelona 2022; ¡Permacultura urbana, eco-festival y más!

En 2022 comencé el proyecto de voluntariado de 12 meses para iniciar el Boodaville Barcelona, he estado involucrado en varios proyectos de Solidaridad Europea a lo largo de los años y he pasado los últimos 3 años involucrado con Boodaville. Mi objetivo era completar el voluntariado antes de cumplir 30 años, aunque con COVID causando muchos retrasos, estoy 7 meses más tarde de lo planeado …

Saul y yo tuvimos la oportunidad de construir este proyecto con Anna, desde la estructura misma del horario y nuestro cronograma e identificar nuestros propios objetivos personales y colectivos con este proyecto. A lo largo del año pasé mucho tiempo en Poble Sec, conociendo el barrio y asistiendo y organizando eventos con las asociaciones que ya están apoyando a la comunidad en gran medida y llevando la transición ecosocial a la conversación y la acción. Por muchas razones, se ha convertido en uno de mis barrios favoritos de Barcelona, ya que la naturaleza de Montjuic es un escape habitual de la ciudad.

A lo largo del año pasé muchos viernes en Hort de la Font Trobada, un jardín comunitario que también está escondido en Montjuic. Con hileras de huertos que cultivan aromáticos, frutas, verduras y flores comestibles … Este fue un verdadero oasis para mí, recordándome cómo mi madre solía cuidar el jardín cuando era niño, siempre plantaba mucha lavanda. Pasé mucho tiempo aprendiendo sobre los usos medicinales de las plantas y recolectando cosas que crecían en abundancia para hacer ungüentos y aceites curativos a base de hierbas.

Algunos días pasaba horas en la computadora, investigando, aprendiendo, escribiendo y organizando, completando las tareas necesarias detrás de escena. Sobre todo me encantaba estar al aire libre, con las plantas y los insectos, a la sombra de los árboles y ensuciarme las manos. Me encanta estar completamente inmerso en la naturaleza, la mayor parte del año viví en La Floresta y eso significaba que tenía mucho tiempo para pasar con los árboles y ocasionalmente encontrarme con jabalíes.

Logramos muchas cosas este año, incluida la construcción y el mantenimiento de algunos petit jardinets, trabajar en Hort de la Font Trobada y organizar y apoyar eventos comunitarios como voluntarios o participantes, aprender sobre el diseño de permacultura y la sostenibilidad en la ciudad, organizar el 4º Festival Maranya y comenzar nuestro encuentro ecosocial semanal.

Es difícil resumir en una breve entrada de blog cómo este año me ha cambiado, y todas las cosas que hemos logrado. Diré que estoy agradecido por el crecimiento y el aprendizaje que tuvo lugar, por la reflexión y los desafíos. Esto ha ayudado a dar forma a mis valores y perspectiva del mundo de una manera más positiva y amorosa.

¡Conectemos y regeneremos!

My experience volunteering at Boodaville Barcelona 2022! – Vianna

Vianna's experience of a year volunteering for Boodaville Barcelona 2022; urban permaculture, eco-festival and more !

In 2022 I began the 12 month volunteering project to start the Boodaville Barcelona, I have been involved in several European Solidarity projects over the years and have spent the last 3 years involved with Boodaville. It was my goal to complete the volunteering before I turned 30, although with COVID causing many delays, I am 7 months later than planned…

Saul and I had the opportunity to build this project with Anna, from the very structure of the timetable and our schedule and to identify our own personal and collective goals with this project. Throughout the year I spent a lot of time in Poble Sec, getting to know the barrio and attending and organising events with the associations who are already supporting the community in a big way and bringing ecosocial transition into conversation and action. For many reasons, it has become one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Barcelona, with Montjuic’s nature being a regular escape from the city. 

Throughout the year I spent many Friday’s in Hort de la Font Trobada, a community garden which is also tucked away in Montjuic. With rows of allotments growing aromatics, fruits, veg and edible flowers… This was a real oasis for me, reminding me of how my mum used to tend the garden when I was a kid, she always planted a lot of lavender. I spent a lot of time continuing to learn about the medicinal uses of plants, and collecting things that were growing in abundance to make herbal healing salves and oils. 

Some days I spent hours on the computer, researching, learning, writing and organising, completing the necessary, behind the scenes tasks. Mostly I loved being outdoors, with the plants and insects, in the shade of the trees and getting my hands dirty. I love being fully immersed in nature, most of the year I was living in La Floresta and that meant that I had a lot of time to spend with the trees and occasionally running into wild boars.

We achieved many things this year, including building and maintaining some petit jardinets, working in Hort de la Font Trobada and organising and supporting community events as volunteers or participants, learning about permaculture design and sustainability in the city, organising the 4th Maranya Festival and starting our weekly ecosocial meet up.

It’s difficult to summarise in a short blogpost how this year has changed me, and all of the things that we achieved. I will say that I am grateful for the growth and learning that took place, for the reflection and the challenges. This has helped to shape my values and perspective on the world in a more positive and loving way.

Ethnobotanical Tour in Montjuic

SORTIDA_ETONOBOTANICA_POBLESEC_2022-07-02_14-05-57

Ethnobotanical Tour in Montjuic

Our 2022 volunteer presents itself and tells us about the ethnobotanical tour he organied this summer in Poble-Sec.

(CAT version below)

Hi, I’m Saül, volunteer for the ESC (European Solidarity Corps) with Boodaville in Poble-Sec, a small neighbourhood of Barcelona that gets enormous if we count the mountain it embraces, the Jewish hill, Montjuïc.

Throughout this year you will get to know about my experience with the association and the different activities we do, but today I come to share the first ethnobotanical tour we have organized in the neighbourhood:

Right at the beginning of summer, but already with a lot of heat, as it is getting more usual in the Barcelona climate, we walk up under the shade through one of the narrow streets of Poble-Sec. We have formed the group in the Francesc Boix Library, called this way after the photographer of Mauthausen. A dozen of neighbours go following Pau, cofounder of the l’Urpa association and facilitator of the tour.

Over the route, which you can see in this link, we learn about different spices and their properties. Most of them, exotic, and a few pertaining to the invaders list, a logical thing taking in account that Montjuïc was filled with private gardens.

Pau tells us about the illness that nearly ended with the population of European elms, while we see a Siberian one, surrounded by their future descendants. We smell the leaves of ailanthus, very extended in Barcelona, that remember to toasted nuts. It doesn’t take long until we realize that between the participants there is a gardener from Parcs i Jardins de Barcelona (the public parcs of the city), who considerably enriches the tour with everything he explains to us. Did you know that in our climate the wild cane cannot produce seeds and it spreads only through the ground?

In front of the funicular stop we discover the oleander, of great toxicity, learning some legends about it. We’ll continue through the Joan Brossa gardens, where we will find an enormous quantity of spices and we’ll even get to taste some blackberries. We weren’t as lucky with the strawberry tree, which hadn’t even flourished yet, maybe for the next tour.

You can check the route, as well as the plants we found, in this link.

See you!

 

Saül Corral

 


                                                                                                      [CAT]:

Hola, soc en Saül, voluntari per el CSE (Cos de Solidaritat Europeu) amb Boodaville a Poble-Sec, un petit barri de Barcelona que és fa enorme si hi comptem la muntanya que abraça, el mont dels jueus, Montjuïc.

Al llarg d’aquest any podreu saber més sobre la meva experiència amb l’associació i les diferents activitats que fem, però avui us vinc a compartir la primera sortida etnobotànica que hem organitzat al barri:

 

Tot just entrat l’estiu, però ja amb molta calor, com és cada cop més habitual en el clima de Barcelona, pugem caminant a l’ombra per un dels estrets carrers de Poble-Sec. Hem format el grup a la biblioteca Francesc Boix, així anomenada pel fotògraf de Mauthausen. Una dotzena de veïnes anem seguint a en Pau, cofundador de l’associació l’Urpa i facilitador de la sortida.

Al llarg del recorregut, que podeu veure en aquest enllaç, anem aprenent sobre diferents especies i les seves propietats. La majoria d’elles, exòtiques, i unes quantes pertanyents a la llista d’invasores, lògic tenint en compte que Montjuic estava ple de jardins particulars.

En Pau ens parla sobre la malaltia que quasi va acabar amb la població d’oms europeus, mentre n’observem un de Sibèria, amb els seus futurs descendents envoltant-lo. Olorem les fulles de l’ailant, molt estès per tota Barcelona, que recorden a fruits secs torrats. Triguem poc en descobrir que entre els participants ens acompanya un jardiner de Parcs i Jardins de Barcelona, que enriqueix considerablement la sortida amb tot el que ens explica. Sabíeu que en el nostre clima la canya de Sant Joan no pot produir llavors i s’estén només pel terra?

Davant de la parada del funicular descobrim el baladre, d’enorme toxicitat, aprenent algunes llegendes al respecte. Seguirem pels jardins Joan Brossa on trobarem una quantitat gegantina d’espècies i fins i tot podrem arribar a degustar algunes mores, no vam tenir tanta sort amb l’arboç, que encara no havia ni tret flor, potser per a la propera sortida.

Podeu consultar el recorregut, així com les plantes que ens vam trobar, en aquest enllaç.

Fins la propera!

Maranya Fest 2022

WhatsApp Image 2022-07-04 at 10.10.40 AM (7)

Maranya Fest 2022

Our little festival continues in 2022 when we returned to the farm at WildLab for an epic weekend of permaculture, nature and dancing!

Maranya 2022

 

On June 24th we were back on site at the incredible WildLab farm in Bigues i Riells, arriving in the heat, crammed into the back of Matteo’s party van to set up camp for Maranya 2022. 

 

At the heart of the weekend was our desire to share with you the opportunity to be in nature and to feel our connection with it whilst exploring living permaculture. We had the chance to spend a weekend experiencing community living, sharing and dancing each night in the dome. Beginning our days long after the rooster’s crows, stepping out into the warmth of the sun and sounds of the surrounding forest. 

We started Saturday morning with a yoga session which the chickens crept into, meditating and moving our bodies in the morning, and then exploring the offerings that our participants had to share.

The permaculture games hosted by Anna and Juanjo brought out our childlike joy, curiosity and wildly entertaining improv performances from everyone that took part.  The vital discussions about soil and food preservation that took place in Sam’s workshops inspired and moved us into new ways of thinking about how we understand and interact with our environment, how we manage our time to create freedom and how we can live in abundance.

We loved the organic flow of skillshares and pop up workshops brought to us: Vadim brought us tea tasting, and brewed pots of tea at just the right times.  A Contact Jam movement session from Yuri. Michela shared her passion for reflexology and holistic healing and the gift of healing massages. Valeria set the scene with a gentle, introspective and interactive self-care workshop to bring us home into ourselves on Sunday morning.

 

A huge special, sparkling shout out for the team of volunteers (Andreea, Ines, Valeria, Luca and Yuri) who supported the event and helped us hold the entire weekend together.

This year saw us running on very Spanish time with a few more obstacles than we could have planned for which had the team stretched whilst we worked to deliver delicious vegetarian meals to the people. We ate well, locally sourced and organic and had plenty of poolside chilling before the music started. 

My personal favourite part of Maranya is the music, the dancing and the annual appearance of my tiger suit. The line up was very HOT. Thank you so much to our dear Ines, bringing some feminine energy to the team of DJ’s and huge thanks and love to all the DJ’s who got us dancing for hours and hours: Conxenxa, Mathz, Palladium, Son B2B Raul Naro and Just Luca.

 

And of course, thank you to each and everyone who came to our little festival! I hope that the magic of Maranya carried into the following days and continues to ripple through our lives. 

 

Much love.

In Memory of Rosa

In Memory of Rosa

Remembering Rosa, a dear friend of Boodaville and founder of BioCaseres

Last week dear Rosa passed away. Rosa has been a key person for the Boodaville project for many years. She ran Biocaseres with her family. They grow many crops, all organic. They are also active in eco tourism with their amazing treasure the olive oil museum as well as educational walks in the area.

We got in touch with Rosa in 2018, when she offered Maja organic potatoes. Maja jumped in joy when she found out that someone was offering organic fruit, vegetables and eggs and very quickly became a dedicated customer. That’s how a relationship of mutual exchange of all you can imagine started benefitting both Boodaville and BioCaseres. Food, houses, medicinal plants, labor, knowledge…

When I first found out that Rosa was sick, I was shocked. Do you know there’s a list with people that are not allowed to die because they are too awesome to lose? Rosa was definitely on that list.

One winter I went to say goodbye before leaving Boodaville for winter. Rosa was in such a bad state and I cried driving out of Caseres, convinced that after winter she’d be gone.

But not Rosa. She was a rarely tough lady. I found her the next spring in front of her sewing machine, making beautiful things and she showed me the medicinal flowers she’d been harvesting. She was skinny and not well but back to her chatty self. She told me she had suffered a lot but felt better now. All good, winter is over.

Until this winter, when her sparking soul wasn’t enough anymore to keep her body going. She will be remembered with a smile and dearly missed.

Better Than New Youth Exchange

photo_53@05-10-2021_10-26-52

Better Than New Youth Exchange

During this youth exchange “Better than New” we invited the participants to have a look at all that's wasted in our society and how to use these resources creatively.

Six countries represented, 11 nationalities and a big mountain of rejected food and a very wide range of rejected things. That’s the summary of the youth exchange Better than New. Together we explored what gets thrown away these days, why it gets thrown away and how we can give it a new life. We started with a workshop in deep ecology. The rest of the week was filled with excursions to a food producer (did you know red bellpeppers get thrown away because it’s fashion to eat them green or yellow these days?) and a local recycling centre where the participants surprised themselves over how many useful objects get thrown away and given the opportunity to take items home to give them a new life.

 

We loved all sorts of international dances and I’m confident to say that the Hungarian dance was the favorite. More intercultural sharing took place as we learnt about the different cradle to cradle projects that are happening. Also the amount of skills brought to the exchange by participants was phenomenal. From permaculture workshops and Italian pasta making to menstrual pads out of recycled materials (a great way to repurpose broken umbrellas and tents!)

 

This youth exchange is a collaboration between Boodaville and Pipirimosca. It started as a wild idea I spoke out loud one day. With the three of us, Anna, Pere and me, Jessica, we made it happen. Little did we know that Anna was going to give birth to a beautiful baby girl on the second day of the exchange!

 

Link to articles in the press https://increiblesostenible.org/mitjans/articles

Read more about the exchange in Catalan below!

Press note for the article previous to the youth exchange:

 

Del 17 al 27 de setembre. 30 joves de cinc països de la unió europea (Hongria, Grècia, Eslovènia, Espanya i Itàlia) es trobaran a valls per aprendre sobre l’economia circular, prendre consciència de la problemàtica dels residus i aprendre a tornar a donar vida a moltes coses que es llencen.

 Aquest intercanvi juvenil internacional s’emmarca dins de les accions Erasmus+ finançades per la Comunitat Europea, i ha estat organitzat per l’associació Boodaville amb col.laboració amb l’associació pel Desenvolupament Local i Alternatiu (ADeLA) que té la seva seu a Valls a la masia anomenada Can Pipirimosca.

 Durant la seva estada, els joves visitaran la deixalleria de Valls i partint d’objectes que han estat descartats, aprendran a reparar-los o a modificar-los per donar-los un altre ús.

 L’intercanvi, que s’anomena “Better than new” (millor que nou, en anglès) vol conscienciar que el concepte brossa no existeix a la natura, i com a concepte humà, son objectes i materials que tenen un impacte negatiu sobre el planeta, fet el qual, tornar a dona’ls-hi ús té un doble impacte positiu, ja que és un residu menys i un recurs menys que s’ha de produir. D’aquí que reparar i reutilitzar, a nivell d’impacte sobre el planeta, sigui “Millor que nou”.

 

Just els últims dies de l’intercanvi, el dissabte 25, de 10 a 14h, hi haurà el Mercat del Recanvi, organitzat pel departament de sostenibilitat de l’ajuntament de Valls al pati de Valls Genera, i que serà obert a tothom, on, amb inscripció prèvia, es podran portar objectes per intercanviar. Serà en aquest mateix espai on els joves exposaran el treball fet durant l’intercanvi, mostrant objectes recuperats de la brossa que han estat reparats, modificats o reutilitzats.

 Al mercat també hi haurà l’espai de regal de la Fira del RicRac, que organitza Valls en transició amb col.laboració amb la Recicleria Digital.

 

 

 

Press note for the article after youth exchange:

 

 

Del 17 al 27 de setembre 30 joves de cinc països s’han trobat a Valls per aprendre sobre economia circular, prendre consciencia de la problemàtica de les deixalles i emprendre accions, tot reparant i reutilitzant deixalles. En grups de sis, joves de Grècia, Hongria, Eslovènia, Itàlia i Espanya s’han reunit per aprendre i compartir, tot respectant les mesures COVID vigents.

 

 

Aquest intercanvi juvenil internacional s’emmarca dins les accions del programa europeu Erasmus+ i ha estat coorganitzat per l’associació Boodaville, situada a la regió del Matarranya, i l’Associació pel Desenvolupament Local i Alternatiu (AdeLA). L’Associació ADeLA té la seva seu a Valls, concretament a la masia anomenada Can Pipirimosca, lloc on s’ha realitzat l’intercanvi, i des del 2005 promou i fomenta la transició cap a una societat sostenible, justa i participativa.

 

 

L’intercanvi, anomenat «Better than new» («millor que nou», en anglès) posa èmfasi en que el concepte de deixalla és un concepte humà, ja que no existeix a la natura, i en la necessitat de la reducció de les deixalles. En paraules d’un dels formadors, membre de l’associació AdeLA: «Podríem definir com deixalles tot allò produït pels humans, sobretot el darrer segle, que no només no tenen ús per un altre element del ecosistema sinó que tenen un impacte negatiu sobre l’ecosistema, contaminant i posant en perill la vida dels éssers vius.»

 

 

Les activitats van començar divendres 17 amb dos dies de formació sobre ecologia profunda.

 

«En la societat occidental els humans som al capdamunt de tot i les altres formes de vida i el planeta es veuen com simples recursos al servei i disposició dels humans. L’ecologia profunda ens proposa una visió biocèntrica, on la vida entesa com totes les formes de vida i la pròpia biodiversitat son al centre. Ens convida a veure’ns com part de la natura i a respectar els altres éssers vius independentment del valor o utilitat que tinguin pels humans.»

 

Amb aquesta formació inicial es vol donar una base als participants del «perquè» és important no només reduir les deixalles que generem sinó també cercar maneres de tornar-lis a donar un ús.

 

Tornant a donar ús a una deixalla, ja sigui reparant, reutilitzant o donant-li un altre utilitat, s’obté un doble impacte positiu pel planeta: una deixalla menys i un recurs menys que cal produir. D’aquí el concepte que millor que nou, sobretot pel que fa a l’impacte sobre el planeta.

 

 

Del 19 al 24 els participants han estat aprenent com reparar, aprofitar o donar ús a coses que es llencen o que no s’aprofiten. Han pogut participar a tallers tan variats com bricolatge, fusteria, impressió 3D, costura, conserves, permacultura, elaboració de sabó, boles de llavors per reforestar, reparació de bicicletes, així com diferents sessions de cine-forum on han après i pres consciència de diferents problemàtiques, com l’obsolescència programada. També han fet dues visites al projecte de la barraqueta agroecològica per conèixer el funcionament i els reptes d’un productor local ecològic.

 

Dissabte 25 els joves participaran del mercat d’intercanvi i segona mà organitzat pel departament de sostenibilitat de l’ajuntament de Valls, on mostraran en una exposició els objectes recuperats per conscienciar de la necessitat de l’aprofitament dels recursos i la reducció de les deixalles.
