Several EuPN members are partners in the 2-year BLAST project, which is now underway to develop, strengthen and support a growing Europe-wide community of practise for community-led transformative blended learning for sustainability and climate action. This will help widen access to tools and a platform for blended learning (which combines in-person and online training and resources), and accelerate their take up and wider use by permaculturists and its associated movements across Europe.

52 Climate Actions - https://www.52climateactions.com/ - has been launched, and work amongst the European and global partners and wider activity on climate action is continuing to move forward.

The pilot iLAND Network is taking shape with 7 aspiring LAND Centre projects having applied in Europe (in Latvia, Bulgaria (x2), Romania, Portugal, Ukraine and Netherlands), 4 across Africa, 1 in Armenia and 1 in Laos. IPEN will accept 15 projects in the pilot network, which we will provide more support to and which will help us refine the iLAND systems. We hope to have iLAND project profiles on the iLAND webpages during the first 3 months of 2020. From there we expect the network to expand significantly in Europe and around the world.
