• Abstract:

  The present work is the result of the research conducted through the course-workshop "Sustainable Gardening", an educational didactic project aimed at the improvement of migrants in the process of social insertion who arrive in the city of Tijuana, Baja California.
  El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (El Colef) participated in collaboration with Casa del Migrante and its Centro Scalabrini de Formación de Migrantes (CESFOM) and the International Organization for Migrants (IOM), where Ecoparque was the ideal place to carry out the activities and the Environmental Education Program was responsible for the design and implementation of the project on 4 occasions. The project's objective was to facilitate knowledge and encourage the development of skills and abilities in sustainable gardening activities and to provide new tools to migrants who have recently arrived in Tijuana and thus help them to achieve a multidimensional wellbeing. The methodology of the project is based on an Integral, Curricular, Instructional and Formative Design, where the importance of combining the work of the groups by objectives as well as by themes is highlighted, where feedback and evaluation are constant, together with environmental education, impacting the lives of these people.
  CESFOM has been in charge of training migrants, and El Colef, through its Environmental Education Program, has been the ideal actor to join this project to work together and consolidate a model of comprehensive care for the benefit of this vulnerable population.
