At the beginning of each year, the European Permaculture Network (EuPN) hosts the PermaTalks – a lecture and discussion series running every Thursday at 18:30 CET, from 15 January to 5 March.

We’re currently looking for one additional discussion guest for two upcoming PermaTalks:
• Permaculture Courses – share your experience in teaching, structuring, or improving courses.
• Permaculture Project Implementation – bring your perspective from real-life design and implementation work.

In early 2024, I shared a link to Nordicpermaculture.org in the Slack channel of the Finnish Permaculture Association. The then-chair, Erkki Pöytäniemi, publicly responded with concern that I might be using the association's platform to promote a "competing" site.

The European Permaculture Network (EuPN) is conducting research regarding PDC requirements. If you're involved in teaching or coordinating a PDC, they need your input. Please take a few minutes to fill out their questionnaire at https://permaculture-network.eu/form/pdc-requirements . It takes about 5 minutes to fill it in. 

PermaTalks (called PermaPuheet in Finland) is an online lecture series focused on permaculture, running annually in Finland since 2020. The lectures take place at the beginning of the year, typically once a week on Thursdays at 18:30 CET.

Each session features a teacher presenting a topic of their choice, with talks lasting between 30 to 90 minutes. Most lectures end with a Q&A session. The lectures are streamed live and recorded on YouTube.

You can explore past teachers and watch most of the lectures at https://permapuheet.fi.

The much-anticipated recordings of PermaPuheet Volume 4 are now publicly accessible, providing an opportunity for enthusiasts and learners to explore the latest in permaculture discussions. This volume, featuring insightful lectures such as "Digital Permaculture" by Aimee Fenech, Douglas Locklin and Dominik Jais and "Living in the Forest Garden" with Bernhard Gruber, offers a rich resource for anyone interested in sustainable living and environmental design.
