Since the IGA (International Garden Exhibition) got underway, Slow Food Germany has organized several live exchanges on the 2000m² Weltacker between school pupils from Berlin and school pupils from Ethiopia who are involved in the Slow Food project “10,000 Gardens” in Africa. During the video discussions, pupils from both countries can ask the pupils from the other country questions and send each other videos and photos online of local foods, their favourite dishes and their environment.
