Permaculture diploma system in Croatia was set in motion on 11 and 12 September 2010 at the 1st National Permaculture Convergence convened at the Recycled Estate in Vukomerić, Croatia, when Danish permaculture teacher Tony Andersen awarded first diplomas to his students from Croatia and Slovenia.
Up-to-date information about the permaculture education in Croatia is available in English, and in Croatian language on Perforum page: Obrazovanje za permakulturu u Hrvatskoj od 2023. godine.

As a greenhorn, during my college years, ideas of civil activism and anarchism were appealing to me, as were ideas of self-reliance and traditional knowledge passed on to me by my grandparents.

Zoran Vukšić
My permaculture journey officially started in 2018 after the PDC in Split. Unofficially much earlier. I try to make my picture of the world as broad as possible and permaculture ethics is something I live with even before I learned about those three basic principles.
Ivan Juratek
Since childhood, I have a deep interest in nature – from observation and learning to vegetable gardening and caring for farm animals. This path naturally led me to study landscape architecture, where I was first introduced to the concept of permaculture.
Mladen Mladenović
During my studies, I had the feeling that "something was missing" in my education - whether there was a better way for people's relationship to the environment/land, people to people... and that's how I "discovered" permaculture.
Gordana Dragičević
Originally I trained in physics, but after university decided to pursue activism instead. Around 2011 I made another personal transition and switched from protest and policy based environmental activism to permaculture and Transition, working in Croatia and the neighbouring countries.
