Permakultura Dalmacija / Permaculture Dalmatia

Association Permakultura Dalmacija was founded with the aim of promoting permaculture, sustainable living and regenerative permaculture design in Dalmatia and Croatia. Permaculture is a holistic approach that integrates agriculture, architecture, ecology and social systems to create more sustainable human environments. Through its activities, the association strives to educate the community as a whole, especially the population of young people of preschool and school age, as well as farmers and residents of cities and rural areas, about the importance of preserving natural resources and applying environmentally friendly practices in everyday life.

The mission of the association is to promote the principles of permaculture through education, practical workshops, projects and cooperation with local communities. Objectives include:

Education: Organizing courses, workshops and lectures on permaculture principles, ecological agriculture, sustainable construction and other topics

Practical application: Implementation of permaculture projects in local communities, such as urban gardens, regenerative agricultural systems...

Collaboration and networking: Bringing together similar organizations, institutions and individuals to share ideas, resources and experiences.

Raising awareness: Informing the general public about the importance of sustainable living and preserving the environment through the media, campaigns and public events.

The association operates primarily in Dalmatia, but its programs and initiatives can be extended to other regions in Croatia. The main activities include:

Educational programs: Development and implementation of educational programs for schools and youth, in order to educate future generations about the importance of sustainable development and permaculture.

Ecological construction and water management: Encouraging the construction of sustainable, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings using local materials and permaculture principles. Collection, storage and optimal use of water resources.

Urban gardens and food production in cities: Creating and maintaining urban gardens in cities, enabling citizens to grow their own food and learn about organic farming.

Community building: Organization and connection of people through activities such as the Time Bank, Repair Shop and Bicycle Repair Shop and workshops for the general population (composting, making irrigation systems, gardening...) in which, in addition to promoting regenerative practices of waste reduction, recycling and reuse, work is being done to establish networks of interpersonal relationships and the creation of active citizenship.

Association Permakultura Dalmacija works to create awareness and change behavior towards the environment, inspiring people to live in harmony with nature and create sustainable communities.
