Title: Permayouth
Description:
The global permayouth is a remarkable generative network of young people connecting to learn together about positive practical ways to bring positive change through permaculture. These thoughtful and articulate [pr]activists have also been transforming the way permaculture is shared - pioneering intergenerational, online perma[cultural] learning spaces, conversations and festivals of music, film and photography - supporting on-the ground action in each location. A surprising, but wonderful, emergence is the flourishing of Permayouth hubs across the East African refugee settlements. In this session, Morag, speaking on behalf of the youth, will share the story of how this movement has come to be, how it thrives, how it is bringing regeneration practices to degraded landscapes, and making a difference - and in the sharing will incorporate the voices of the youth.

Member and co-founder of Resilience Earth Coop since 2016, a non profit coop working on managing change in the rural regions of Catalonia, as well as translocally with other organizations around the Globe. Our main focus is to weave resilience on local communities to be able to regenerate our bioregions. We work with institutions, municipalities and transformational organizations. Nowadays we are 13 people with trans-disciplinary approaches working on the coop, and we are part of a local hub and a second degree coop with whom we intercooperate to amplify our impact.

By working together and channelling our efforts we can turn underused and polluted resources into vast, living infrastructure. Floating Ecosystems help bring water to life by creating habitat above and below the water that increases biodiversity and improves water quality. From heavily polluted canals in Asia to new pocket parks, & urban biodiversity hotspots in Europe, from mile-long floating gardens to edible art projects this presentation will take you on an inspiring waterway journey.
