If you are between 17 & 35, you can be a Permaculture Youth Ambassadors representing Australia at the 2025 International Permaculture Youth Convergence (IPYC) at Timor Leste (East Timor) in the hills above Dili from October 20 – 25 this year!
This is the opportunity of a life-time to take the next step in your permaculture journey. Connect with hundreds of other like minded permie youth change makers from around the planet learning about and working towards creating “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible”.
500 East Timorese Permie Youth Leaders will be hosting another 500 from around the world with the intention of building an active global PermaYouth network, future leadership and global environmental stewardship.
The day program includes permaculture practice and development of leadership skills in:
- Water resilience
- Sustainable Agroforestry
- Agro ecology
- Permaculture in action
- Art, music and indigenous culture
The night program will be a real “hoot” with participants coming together to share a celebration and exchange of indigenous knowledge, culture, music, art and friendship.
After the event, we will spend another three days touring the many cultural sites in and around Dili and enjoying some additional permaculture site visits.
The cost of the convergence including food and accommodation will be minimal (yet to be confirmed) but my intention for the South Australian team is to collaboratively fund raise to offset associated transportation and additional food and accommodation costs.
I am looking to support and co-ordinate a team of up to 10 inspired South Australian Permie Youth Change makers on this journey. I am also looking for a non male permie to jointly share this responsibility with me. If your state or territory does not have a group attending, and you would like to be part of this amazing event maybe you can join up with us.
