The Youth Circle is growing! We’ve selected three young ambassadors to attend the Permaculture Youth International Convergence in Timor Leste, are connecting with permaculture elders to nurture intergenerational continuity, and launching online gatherings from 8 September to learn, connect, and co-create the future together.
Permaculture Australia Youth Circle Update
Permaculture Australia is excited to share some wonderful developments from our Youth Circle initiative – a space dedicated to intergenerational connection, collaboration, and supporting young people to thrive within the permaculture movement.
Supporting Young Ambassadors at the International Youth Convergence
In October, the Permaculture Youth International Convergence (PYIC) will be held in Timor Leste, hosted by our friends at Permatil. This important gathering will bring together young leaders from around the world to share ideas, strengthen networks, and co-create strategies for a regenerative future.
After a careful selection process, we are proud to announce that three inspiring young Australians – Felix Liebert, Toad Dell, and Meka Rakhmat – have been chosen as our Youth Ambassadors to attend the convergence. With the generous support of Permaculture Australia scholarships and Permatil’s accommodation assistance, they will represent our community and bring back valuable insights, stories, and connections.
Building Bridges Between Generations
The Youth Circle is also reaching out to Permaculture Elders, inviting them to share wisdom, stories, and mentorship with the younger generation. These intergenerational connections are at the heart of our vision: ensuring that the knowledge and spirit of permaculture continue to evolve and adapt with the times.
Youth Circle Online Gatherings – Starting Soon!
We’re delighted to announce the launch of the Youth Circle Online Gatherings, beginning on 8th September. These sessions will be a space for young people and elders to meet, learn together, dream up projects, and grow stronger as a community.
Stay tuned for updates, and please help spread the word whether you are a young person interested in joining, or an elder keen to offer support, there’s a place for you in this circle.
Together, we’re weaving the threads of intergenerational continuity, honouring the past, empowering the present, and shaping the future.
