* PERMACULTURE IN KABUL, AFGHANISTAN*

It’s been a very busy time for the Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute
with Rowe Morrow recently returning from teaching a Permaculture Course to
a group of young Peace Activists in Kabul, Afghanistan. Rowe’s now working
with Gary Caganoff to make a short documentary as a follow-up to the film *The
Garden at the End of the World *which they made together in 2010. You can
read more about Rowe’s experience here:

And here’s a beautiful and moving photo essay by her students:

*PERMACULTURE DIPLOMAS*

We’ve also been working closely with a number of new Permaculture Diploma
applicants:

*Mari Korhonen*, from Finland, who has a great deal of experience in
agriculture and land rehabilitation, as well as working as a mediator using
non-violent communication;

*Chisa Uetsuki,* who has pioneered permaculture in Japan;

And *Tina Lymberis*, who has pioneered permaculture in Greece.

*THE PROBLEM IS THE SOLUTION*

Focusing on Social Permaculture, Lis Bastian has been working hard on
developing a Solutions Media Service, called *The Big Fix*. It’s about
taking a permaculture approach to news media and looking at stories through
a solutions lens. You can actually read about Tina Lymberis’s work already
at The Big Fix

The website is still being developed but there have already been over 3,000
solutions stories shared on social media.
