One of the activities we did at the Friland meeting was to create a Networking Garden with links relevant to our work of important organisations, places and people at international and national level.
Like every morning, we formed the opening circle to start off the day, where everyone shared something learned the day before. The morning was dedicated to working on widening participation when designing permaculture courses. The aim is to reach different audiences that are not usually represented in permaculture courses. The topics were chosen from a survey that had been passed among the members of the partnership. The topics covered in the session were:
Karoline and Tycho at Myrrhis, the home they are building by hand according to Permaculture principles[/caption] We started with a morning circle where we shared in pairs, how we felt about the day before, and we were also asked to pop-corn inspiring moments about yesterday's events. The rest of the morning was dedicated to working on the primary activities, where progress has been made in the production of materials for the COMPOST (this website).
What have we learned or gained together so far?
The next EPT meeting will be in Denmark, at the intentional community Friland, on 26th of May to 1st of June 2014. We look forward to welcoming you all here! The focus of the meeting will be around finalising the Teachers' Handbook and the other primary activities, outreach beyond the permateachers' group, as well as looking ahead to the time after the partnership ends. Already plans are being discussed and opportunities are being checked out. So come and take part in this important work!
