Learning Unboxed

Food is essential to our lives, but kids rarely get a chance to understand where it comes from – or how to participate in the process. Jim Bruner is the farmer extraordinaire at the Mezzacello, an urban farm in the middle of downtown Columbus which hosts programs that expose local kids to urban farming. We discuss how last year’s events went and what lessons he’s learned that will be applied as the project moves in the future.To learn more, visit: pastfoundation.orgWe unbox:Why Jim created MezzacelloMezzacello summer camp programmingCreating a positive learning environment through playLessons Jim learned working with kidsLong-term impact of the programDesigning your own backyard curriculumResources:mezzacello.org2022 Summer CampLearning Unboxed is produced, in part, by Crate Media.
