Permaculture Convergence Online

As some of you might have heard before in the circle calls, we are exploring possible formats for an online version of the EUPC. The EUPC working group has put together a proposal to join effort and create new exciting ways to share, learn and act together!

There might be some prototyping happening on national scale this year. For 2021 we are looking for a bigger offering.

New report about Permaculture in Zanzibar

Tove Bang from Vijana Wetu Denmark and Derrick Omondi from Vijana Wetu Kenya left Kisumu, Kenya on Feb. 29th 2020 to travel to Zanzibar with the purpose of getting first hand knowledge about permaculture in Zanzibar and collect inspiration for their project, Banda River Permaculture Center. It´s a youth project and together with the local community they are working on building up a permaculture demonstration center in a village near Lake Victoria in West Kenya.

Exactly 31 years after I started my first trip to Africa at Diani Beach, south of Mombasa, I have now started this trip again, this time accompanied by Sonja. The reason for this was a wedding invitation to Kisumu and the long-cherished wish to visit some Kenyan project partners, to exchange ideas and to explore opportunities for cooperation. In the short term we have received funding from the Schöck Family Foundation.

Bringing about positive change can be hard work. It's important to make strong, lasting connections with people who share our hopes and concerns for the future. 
The convergence is about encouraging people from all across Britain to come together as a community of designers, educators, learners and activists putting permaculture at the heart of a network of thriving communities.
