Each week, participants return to discuss what has happened with their experiments or gardens, process these experiences with other members of the group and make generalizations about what they have learned and how they can use this knowledge. Problems often lead to new learning topics. In total, the program has 154 persons involved in learning sessions. It is expected to double this number in the next twelve months. On-going the program is helping the set up of inputs shops, in the two slums.
Participants are very much involved and have an active role in extending activities in the field.
While some participants need assistance to set up their agriculture activities because of lack of money, others readily find what they need to start and only need technical support. Children take what they learn about urban agriculture back home and begin activities in the neighbors and areas where they come from. Teachers from some of the schools are extending urban agriculture ideas and activities to other areas outside their specific schools. Most of the participants come regularly to each meeting, saying that they like this approach because they are allowed to talk, have an opportunity to express their ideas and are able to understand new things. They begin to suggest new topics to explore and suggest ways to set up experiments to learn the topics.
