A multicultural herbal workshop

We invite students at the adult education center and local people to come to a workshop where we make extracts of local herbs in vinegar. Here we learn quite practically how to make vinegar extracts, why make vinegar extracts, and some of the local garden plants and wild plants that may be relevant for vinegar extracts.

After we have finished making extracts, we invite people from the adult education center to share traditions from their countries regarding the use of local herbs. This is something adult education has prepared them for in an assignment in advance. Three groups present a plant each from their homeland. Finally, there will be a discussion between local people, course leaders and people in adult education about herbs and traditions.

The event is a collaboration between Melbo Manor (Museum Nord), Adult Education in Hadsel and the Refugee Service in Hadsel.
