Innovative CPD Opportunity: Engaging Children in Permaculture for Early Years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name Christine Mathieson from Welly Walkers Childminding Family out at Portsoy. I have just finished a fantastic course that ran for 6 weeks, 12hrs in total 2 hrs in the evening per week. It is the Introduction to Engaging Children in Permaculture part of the Permaculture Association, with lecturers\/trainers Lusi Alderslowe and Annette Argabright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we look for innovative ways to embed sustainability and outdoor learning into our Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) provisions, I would like to tell you about the training that i stumbled on whie doing reaearch during an outdoor play module in my second year of Uni : Engaging Children in Permaculture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permaculture goes beyond standard  gardening. It introduces a holistic design framework rooted in three core ethics: Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
