On January 21-22 in Milan, Italy, the ERDN team participated in a kick-off meeting of a new project under Soil Mission from Horizon Europe: #SOILTRIBES 🌱🇪🇺
These were two very intensive, fruitful days, during which the 25 partners of the Consortium met in person for the first time and gave a clearer outline of the project, which aims to pave the way towards inspiring “back to Earth” narratives translated in new formats of knowing, feeling and behaving in regard to soil, its importance and challenges, and its future, which is deeply connected with ours.
ERDN have a very important role - bridging the two sister soil projects in which we participate, SOILTRIBES and SoilScape Project.
Project Officer Ms. Amanda Jane OZIN pointed to ERDN as a linking organization and encouraged cooperation and synergy of activities - to inspire each other and not to duplicate activities, but to make them complementary.
Katarzyna Gizińska gave a presentation on the main objectives of SOILSCAPE and showed the common elements and space for cooperation and synergy of activities.
Zbigniew Floriańczyk presented the tasks that ERDN is responsible for in SOILTRIBES: developing resources, acceleration and transformation activities for business & participation and organization of regional/national events for wide audience.
We are very excited and already looking forward to more meetings and work on SOILTRIBES. Special thanks to POLIMI and INOVA+ for organizing the kick-off meeting and to our colleagues from the Polish Gmina Michałowice, who together with us will represent Poland in this project.

🌱 SoilScape Project: Second Consortium Meeting in Göttingen, Germany 🖼
On December 18–19, 2024, the second Consortium Meeting of the SOILSCAPE project, funded by Horizon Europe, took place in Göttingen, Germany. The event was hosted by the Deutsche Bodenkundliche Gesellschaft (DBG) and the University of Göttingen (UGOE).
The meeting brought together project partners to share progress, discuss insights from research on human-soil relations across Europe, and participate in workshops. These discussions helped set the direction for future activities. Each participant left the meeting with fresh ideas and a stronger commitment to promoting open and inclusive soil literacy and culture through artistic practices and education.
Katarzyna Gizińska presented Work Package 5: "Assess the impacts and ensure sustainability of the actions," led by ERDN. The first activities under WP5 are set to start in May 2025.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the organizers for creating an inspiring and productive environment for meetings, workshops, and idea exchanges, as well as for re-energizing all participants for the work ahead. Special thanks go to all the Polish participants who contributed to the project through interviews, Photovoice studies, and surveys. We received special acknowledgments from task leaders for your invaluable contributions and engagement – your involvement has made these results truly impactful!
SOILSCAPE harnesses the power of art, culture, and civil society organizations to promote soil preservation and education. Through artistic and educational activities, the project engages citizens and professionals across Europe and beyond.
