Permaculture Education for Children

This is part of the wider Education 'lab' and focuses on the people, projects, ideas, dialogues, etc. (use as you wish) to do with permaculture and children.

GROFUN

GROFUN are providing fun, practical vegetable growing workshops with experienced teachers/gardeners in two Bristol primary schools. The sessions tie in with the current curriculum and compliment what the children are learning in the classroom.

We’ve been working in schools for less than a year, so are on a steep learning curve. Any support would be greatly appreciated, and we’d be happy to share our experiences!

Kind regards, Abby

I am happy to announce the launch of the Children's PEACE Guild (Permaculture Education Among Children Everywhere).  I will be introducing children to permaculture through natural art, cooperative games & activities, and hands-on projects.

Additionally, I am assembling the Children's Permaculture Resource Network to offer pamphlets, zines, books and information to kids, parents, and  educators as well as set-up a lending library here in Eugene, Or.

If you know anyone who might be interested I would appreciate it greatly if you could pass on this information.
