Are you a teacher, parent or student wondering how permaculture can be related to school? Listen in to this episode, where I welcome Rebecca Leek - an educator weaving permaculture into school systems across England.
Permaculture is commonly associated with gardening, but Rebecca shows how it can help our approach to education too.
From producing no waste to valuing the marginal, the principles embedded in permaculture can really help shape our schools into places of genuine connection and emergence.
What if we looked at our education system as a garden? How can we create composting systems in our social worlds? Tune in to explore.
You can read Rebecca's article in the Guardian here.
