We are pleased to announce that Asociación Luna Red Producción Cultural is now acting as our fiscal host on Open Collective.
This means you can now financially support the work of the European Permaculture Network in a transparent and flexible way.
Support options include:
Our digital lives depend heavily on a few proprietary platforms. This centralisation limits user autonomy, locks communities into closed ecosystems, and places crucial infrastructure in the hands of commercial actors whose interests do not always align with the common good. Open-source tools and federated networks offer a different path: transparent, democratic, community-owned and built for long-term resilience. I wrote about it extensively in my book “Digital Permaculture”.
Digital Independence Day (Di-Day) invites us to take one small step each month towards such alternatives.
PermaTalks (PermaPuheet), organized by the European Permaculture Network (EuPN), return with an exciting sixth season starting on 15 January 2026 – one lecture every week on Thursdays at 18:30 CET! This online lecture and discussion series features inspiring talks from leading voices in permaculture.
Here are the lectures:
We would like to learn more about the existing national and regional permaculture organisations and networks — to understand how they work, what they need, and how we can better support collaboration across Europe.
The European Permaculture Network is preparing a Europe-wide gathering for 2026 and is now searching for a suitable venue.
We’re looking for a place that can welcome around 200 participants in early September 2026 (ideally during the weekend of 4–6 September), is accessible by train, and is located somewhere in central Europe - such as Germany or France.
The event will be self-organised and facilitated using Open Space Technology, allowing participants to co-create the programme together.
PermaTalks is a permaculture online lecture series which started in Finland in 2020 - every year in the beginning of the year - one lecture a week - every Thursday at 18:30 CET. Teachers introduce one topic of their choice and teach for 30 to 60 minutes. At the end of the sessions there is usually a Q&A. Lectures get recorded. They are directly available for participants later for the public.
