Project objectives
Project objectives
- Support and make visible a wide variety of research including: making the impacts of the permaculture global movement more visible, continue building on research done in the last years to support in practice the permaculture movement to engage in difficult conversations, weave stronger strategic connections and broaden access and impact of commons resources. Deepen our research into ethical digital products research and development.
- Ensure continuous training available to the permaculture CoLab members and allied networks including the Global Regeneration CoLab and the Deep Adaptation Forum and others across different topics including increasing digital literacy,
- Ensure services remain available for the CoLab to remain operational including a number of identified key roles and support roles/activities including digital tech support, project management, financial administration, governance support and now including communications and monitoring and evaluation and including sustainability of the CoLab through fundraising support to diversify and strengthen the funding base.
- Enable the growth of the community through community engagement practices from within and without especially through curated spaces to bring together strategic partners and permaculture practitioners within the movement and broadening reach and impact of resources created as commons.
- Diversity, Decolonisation fund in place to enhance the diversity of the Colab as a collaborative space by supporting members who otherwise would not be able to engage and enable development and delivery of diversity training resources for the CoLab and the wider movement.
- Leaving room for Emergent activities within the current and evolving projects through the Emergent Festival which a community led funding exercise engaging the community to support, identify and collaborate with projects emerging.
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.
