Dear friends of the Permaculture World, Children and Youth Groups, Indigenous- and Rural- and all Communities Everywhere!

The IPC14 Argentina team together with the IPC Council, in the constant effort of adaptation to the world-wide pandemic and its consequences, have decided to delay the next International Permaculture Convergence that was to take place in 2021. The current date for the 14th IPC is November-December 2022.

An exciting new online learning platform launched by the Permaculture Association in October has been a great success. Featuring a range of courses, including a six-module Foundations of Permaculture course, several short courses, and teacher led versions of these, there is something for everyone. The platform enables people to start learning instantly- in their own time and from their own homes. The response has been outstanding with hundreds of learners from around the world signing up to learn permaculture, with the courses and platform receiving excellent reviews.

There are two new translated publications for free download on our website: A Consensus Handbook and The Agroforestry Handbook. https://www.akademiepermakultury.cz/english

After some discussion about our yearly nationwide permaculture conference being move to online format, we have decided to simply postpone it for the next year, as the main objective for people to attend is always an in-person contact (which was made impossible by the pandemic). So the conference theme, "Appropriate technologies" is being saved for 2021 (hopefully).

The New Discoveries Project and Quinta Vale da Lama open registration for:
