Over 50 participants joined us on Thursday 16 May for a Seminar on Social Permaculture, held at Il-Kappella tal-Madonna tal-Anġli, Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq. The seminar was organised for people working with vulnerable adults, from people with mental or physical disabilities, to migrants, elderly people and people with drug or alcohol addiction. Participants learned about social permaculture principles and practices to create resilient and sustainable communities. Social Permaculture involves more than natural ecosystems and agricultural or gardening practices. Its ethics and principles can also be applied to other aspects of human life, such as education, health, buildings and governance.
This month, we had the privilege of hosting a transformative trainingsession as part of the Blooming Schools project. Over three enlighteningdays, our project partners delved into the heart of environmental education,exploring nature based learning and youth engagement initiatives.
During last year’s Friends of the Earth Europe (FoEE) Annual General Meeting (AGM), it was decided to hold the 2024 AGM in Malta.
