CoLab Podcast - Series 2, Episode 3

|
For our next podcast episode we have Dumi Banda from Environmental Bees Project in Malawi. Dumi, a teacher from the Beehive School has set up an after school club to raise awareness about food waste, climate change and sustainability.
|
In this episode we hear from Dumi and two of the students who attend the club, giving us different perspectives on the same project.
|
The Environmental Bees Club also collaborates with a school in Tanzania where they hope to learn about Permaculture practices and further tune their ideas about sustainability and climate change.

Comms, Outreach and Engagement
|
The Comms, Outreach and Engagement team is trying to align with permaculture organisations, in order to let them know what we are doing, what services we offer, what content can be accessed through the CoLab, etc. We are calling out to CoLab members to help us! If you are affiliated in any way with a permaculture organisation and you could put us in touch with them, we would be very grateful.

What is the Impact of your Community Permaculture Project?
|
|
Communicating our impact has value
|
Many of us recognise that collecting evidence about our project’s performance and impact enables us to improve our work and how we report to funders and other stakeholders. We also know that it can help us to secure future funding, and highlight permaculture as a solution to planetary crises. But knowing what to do and where to start is not easy when you are already busy running your project.

Healing Love Into Balance
This paper is about our capacity to love our world back into Balance. Balance at the structural level, within and across systems like education, justice, food, housing, health, the media, and community development, is made possible by people and organizations cultivating balance within and between one another.
