Questionnaire on Structures of Permaculture Education 2012 (PDF)
Jan Fischer, Permakultur Akademie Deutschland interviewed by Monika Frank 28th – 30th of June 2014.
The interest into permaculture has largely increased in Germany over the last two years, the Akademie has responded to this by organising more PDCs (in 2014 8 instead of 4-5 in the previous years) and has lifted the restricition on the number of PDCs, established in the past to avoid competition. Also the number of students enrolled in the Akademie has doubled which led to more persons working as tutors and on the online-structures with these students.

For about 6 years now, we are having 4 main networking and action learning meetings a year: one in each season. The first in the year happens in February, the "winter meeting". This is really a networking meeting with project presentations, open space time, discussions, games,... In spring, the meeting happens around Ascension Day (I guess the reason for that is because that is a holiday in Germany and this creates a prolonged weekend), this is long-standing.
The Partnership's kick-off meeting was held in August 2012 in Escherode near Kassel in Germany. Helder Valente shares a video of impressions of that first meeting.
