GROW Project

Growing coherence of the International Permaculture Movement through Collaboration

Project objectives 

Our approach is to leverage the extended network connections we already have including permaculture associations, our connections with permaculture groups and networks such as ECOLISE, European Permaculture Network, permaculture researchers, teachers and practicioners to bring people together to deliver the objectives set out. In this regard the CoLab has a track record of success in self-organisation, community accountability processes and bringing in collaborators with skills and motivate to contribute when the needs are not able to be met in-house using community led recruiting processes. 

 

We see the project objectives both as a challenge and as an opportunity to stretch our capacity building, fostering community engagement and lift permaculture up as an impactful, credible and proven approach to shaping policy and climate action. 

 

The objectives seek to address, document and provide the necessary impetus and support for permaculture research, capacity building within the movement especially in the grassroots levels, community engagement to grow and ethical digital tools.
