Pollinator ambassadors - Communicating science with creativity and purpose

Erasmus+ FLOWER

Facilitating Learning and Womens’Empowerment in pollinator Regeneration

What is FLOWER?

FLOWER is a three-day Erasmus+ funded training programme. FLOWER is an acronym for “Facilitating Learning and Womens’ Empowerment in pollinator Regeneration,” and this is precisely what we’re aiming at.

Biodiversity is very important for ecosystem resilience and stability, food safety, and other aspects of all life. Especially pollinators, such as wild bees, moths, or birds, are threatened by strong decline. FLOWER brings together 20 young women* based in Austria and Greece, to build a community and capacity in pollinator regeneration, and foster living in harmony with nature. You will leave with new tools and a strong sense of initiative – as well as a new community!

She is an expert in degrowth, systems thinking and biomimicry, ready to spark your ideas for pollinator action.
