Organized by the INAT team in collaboration with local farmers and socio-economic actors, the International Field School brought together 18 students from Tunisia and NATAE partner countries to the oasis of Kébili.
This immersive experience offered participants the opportunity to develop practical field skills while contributing to the analysis of territorial dynamics in oasis ecosystems. Using participatory tools and field surveys, students worked across three thematic areas: biodiversity, water management, and oasis value chains, proposing actionable strategies for a successful agroecological transition.
Engagements with farmers took place in both traditional and modern oases, including enriching exchanges with the Women’s Association Val’oasis. Students explored local products and learned from the Jemna initiative, an inspiring model of collective oasis management within the social and solidarity economy.
The program concluded with student-led presentations and recommendations, shared with local stakeholders in a closing session that encouraged dialogue and collaboration.
