Building regenerative habitats
Spring 2021: 17-31 May
In Spring 2021 we came together in our food forest in the south of Peloponnese, participants from 9 different countries and 36 participants and 4 trainers to share their knowledge on regenerative practices around ecobuilding, permaculture, healthy spirit and nutrition. Our dear friends from Σταγόνες / Stagones guided us in the construction part, Tina Lymberis trained us in Permaculture, Giorgos Fou support the deepening of our spiritual skills and Zannis Zouganelis will share his insights on healthy regenerative nutrition habits.
This training aimed to train people that work with youth and will be a multiplier for the knowledge and the practices in their area and context.
The partnering organizations are the most amazing, and we are grateful for their support: ACT - Malta, Octop'us (France), Degré 47 (Belgium), teatro sol y tierra (Spain), Inner Voice NGO Erasmus+ (Italy), Permakultur Danmark, SKEY Suomen Kestävän Elämäntavan Yhteisöt Ry - GEN Finland, Mediterranean Forum For Social Development
