As indicated in my bio, I love to travel internationally. In the past decade, my focus for international travel has turned from pleasure- or education-focused to almost requiring that I find work to do while abroad. Sometimes this simply means short videos about particular places, but mostly I look for the stories present in the people of those places.
This is one of a series of videos, made over six weeks in Barcelona, about different types of urban gardens. This school behind Parc Guell, one of GaudÃ’s architectural attractions in the city, has incorporated a local garden into the school’s curriculum. The result is that all students in the school visit the garden four times each year to enjoy learning about nature firsthand.
This is one of a series of videos, made over six weeks in Barcelona, about different types of urban gardens. This garden is two city blocks from the famous Sagrada Familia cathedral, the only public vegetable garden in that neighborhood of the city. The garden is operated by the municipal government of Barcelona and features retired people and prisoners working side by side.
This is one of a series of videos, made over six weeks in Barcelona, about different types of urban gardens. This garden is located in the City Center of Barcelona, in La Ribera barrio, where, some years ago, buildings were taken down to create an open space in the neighborhood. A struggle ensued between the neighbors and the city government about how to use the space and the neighbors ultimately prevailed. The result is a plaza enjoyed by the people, containing an open garden space to benefit all the nationalities who mix there.
