In Europe, permaculture teachers, diploma tutors, apprentices and learning communities explore how to strengthen our existing diploma pathways, improve the quality of our diplomas and how tutors can be supported. Each from a different angle, from a different perspective.
When we brought the EuPN back to life, we hoped we could leave some of the old problems behind and focus on building something useful for the wider permaculture community in Europe.
Unfortunately, it seems we are running into similar patterns again.
In recent calls and conversations outside the EuPN, a narrative has started to circulate that is both misleading and damaging. It appears in sentences like:
We’re happy to announce the integration of a new, searchable Funding Opportunities List on the Permaculture Network website — making it easier than ever for permaculture practitioners, projects, and educators to find relevant funding sources.
The European Permaculture Network (EuPN) is pleased to announce its presence on Mastodon, the decentralized social media platform. This move reflects EuPN’s commitment to supporting open, community-driven platforms that align with its values of sustainability, inclusivity, and decentralization - align with the Digital Permaculture principles.
You can now follow EuPN on Mastodon at https://climatejustice.social/@eupn.
We’re excited to introduce Match & Hatch, a fresh initiative by the European Permaculture Network (EuPN) designed to bring people together for meaningful conversations around shared passions.
What is Match & Hatch?
We are pleased to introduce "Books for a Future", a curated list of publications aimed at supporting sustainable and regenerative practices. This initial collection has been carefully assembled as a foundation for learning, exploration, and inspiration in areas ranging from permaculture design to ecological resilience and beyond.
