EDUCATION
Education and training is central to permaculture. It is probably the main reason why permaculture is now busily working in over 120 countries around the world. Permaculture teachers tend to be active practitioners rather than trained teachers, although permaculture is now being adopted by schools and colleges in many countries. The successful work to get permaculture onto the syllabus in Australia and its adoption across southern African schools as part of the ReSCOPE program are two good examples.
There are increasing numbers of schools and colleges in the UK that are looking to incorporate permaculture into their work, and many centers and groups that offer courses as part of their adult education work. If you are involved in permaculture work in a school or college please do contact us and tell us about your work.
