Diploma in Permaculture
|
In Europe there are several entities, mostly national permaculture associations, which issue a permaculture diploma. There are different names for the same diploma - most common is the "Diploma in Applied Permaculture" or "Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design".
The EUPN provides an overview of those different systems.

Diversity and Decolonization
|
The International Permaculture CoLab recognises that permaculture history, ethics, principles and practices have deep roots in many indigenous cultures.
This section of our newsletter is dedicated to addressing gaps in knowledge, highlighting resources and important work. We seek to promote, share and support diversity and decolonization projects, organisations and shared knowledge around the world that are aligned with our vision of a socially just world where we live in harmony with nature.

Catalyzing Learning and Action for Equitable Systems Change
This study examines how thousands of graduates of leadership development and fellowship programs are harnessing alumni wisdom and actions to advance racial equity and racial healing. The research included 23 direct interviews with funders, 25 articles and books reviews, and engaged 85 funders, network consultants and alumni of leadership programs.The Leadership Learning Community, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation‘s research partner in this effort, focused on three areas of inquiry:
|
- What are the pros and cons of different ways that funders are organizing leadership program alumni and the extent to which funders drive this work?
- What is unique about an alumni network approach? What are the benefits, and what would it require?
- What can be learned from other foundation-sponsored alumni networks about power dynamics, how to center equity, decision-making realms and governance, structures, processes, communications and resources?
