New Finnish Permaculture Association


Dear European permafriends and colleagues,
Finland (finally!) has a permaculture association!

Our purpose is to promote and develp permaculture and cold climate permaculture solutions in Finland. We do this by collecting and distributing information about cold climate permaculture, offering and promoting permaculture training as well as other events, and participating in the international permaculture networks in the Nordic area and beyond.

You can contact us via info(at)permakulttuuri.fi and visit the website
(still under construction) at www.permakulttuuri.fi

With warm regards from Finland,
Dominik Jais and Mari Korhonen from the "International affairs and networks" team

Permaculture Iceland


Recently the Nordic Permaculture Festival travelled to Iceland. It was an exploration of possibilities in The Sands of southern Iceland. Windswept black volcanic sand and rock with a carpet of arctic herbs and lupines was the backdrop for a long weekend of coming together from all over the world, creating a lot from the abundance of an affluent society, calling for the Nordic feeling and blacksmithing with a real viking. 

Before the festival, six new certificate holders completed the PDC. They presented some of their designs at the festival with proper celebration following.

Formidable Vegetable Sound System came to play permie songs and formidable food was served in the newly built outdoor kitchen, complete with rocket stove, art installations and cacao cups ;-)

New Baltic LAND cooperation


Recently, four countries around the Baltic Sea got a project started with Nordplus funding. The Learning, Activity, Network and Demonstration (LAND) project are starting this year in Sweden and Finland, while Estonia will have its first permaculture LAND demonstration site next year. Denmark is helping with training of LAND councellors and assessors. 

Around 22 delegates from the four countries will be meeting in Sweden, Finland and Estonia to visit potential LAND centres and work on learning materials. To be continued...

EuPN Permaculture Event Calendar


ESS_logo_512x512.pngAt the EuPN Communications & Image working group we regularly get requests to publish courses, workshops and other events in a common calendar. Some of the advantages of such a calendar with lots of events in Europe are: easy to find what's on if you are looking for something interesting to do; organisers can easily find a date to coordinate with other events in the neighbourhood.

We would like to add more benefits for organisers - and ourselves - by introducing automatic distribution of event information: less work, avoiding double entry for organisers and web site editors as well as full control and ownership for organisers.
 

Event  publishing standard

We propose to start a pilot using ESS (Event Standard Syndication - an emerging standard application of RSS). This protocol enables the computer power of web sites to collect and distribute event information automatically. All we need to do is keep a list of web site addresses that have something to report, i.e.: the web addresses of event organisers and venues. Using this system our calendar would always show the most accurate and current information about events.
 

Calling permaculture event organisers

We are now looking for a few organisers and venues that are interested in participating in a test of the system. We will provide technical assistance, if you want it of course.

Want to give it a go? Please send an email to comms@permaculture-network.eu with your contact details and we will get back to you for more details.

GROW citizen scientists


The GROW Observatory is a European-wide project engaging thousands of growers as citizen scientists.

We will learn together, using simple tools to better manage soil, while contributing to vital global environmental monitoring. We would love a strong permaculture presence in the project. 

If you are interested, please sign up using the online form at http://growobservatory.org.

The GROW project is funded from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under grant agreement No 690199.
 


Permacultuur Magazine

by Caroline Siepman

A small group of permaculturists in The Netherlands en Belgium came together in 2014 to explore the possibilities to start a magazine about permaculture for the Dutch language area. We crowdfunded issue number 0 so we could start with Permacultuur Magazine in January 2015, and now we are looking forward to number 8 that will appear in September 2017. At the time of writing we have more than 550 subscribers and we have a number of ambassadors in the two countries who introduce the magazine to possible new subscribers.

Our core value is ‘designing for a resilient future’. All aspects of permaculture stop by: edible gardens, economy, social permaculture, transition, farming, market gardening, … We attend to theory as well as practice and skills.

The people behind Permacultuur Magazine are Dutch and Belgian volunteers. Together we deliver a positive, helping and informing magazine four times a year. The articles are written by people of the editorial staff, supplemented with extern authors. We share knowledge and hope to connect permaculturists with each other and with the permaculture projects in The Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium). With each issue we hope to contribute to the development of permaculture in our climate zone. It’s a huge but satisfying job.

The challenge is that the members of the editorial staff live far away from each other, so we don’t see each other often. We try to meet together two times a year. The rest of our communication is by mail, telephone, skype and google drive. We see the making of Permacultuur Magazine as one big permaculture project, designing the magazine itself but
also our teamwork. A beautiful and valuable adventure!

You can subscribe at permaculture-magazine.eu (also for Dutch speaking permaculturists abroad).
