Descrizione dell'organizzazione

Permacultura Cantabria (PC) saw its origins when a group of committed young people started to organise events, activities and trainings, which gradually expanded with our interests, until in 2005 we officially registered the entity.

PC develops its main activity in Cantabria, with young people (16-30 years old) and other disadvantaged population of the community, especially now that it wants to implement volunteer projects to support the work that the organisation plans to carry out with the Ukrainian community in Cantabria, such as unemployed people, families, people with disabilities, retired people, etc, but also from other regions of Spain and Europe.

Our activities are also aimed at multiplier agents (educators, youth workers, heads of organisations, companies, trade unions, public managers and those interested in dissemination activities, etc.).

PC plans, develops and delivers its own non-formal education and training programmes, based on the demand of the staff, partners and users we work with (adapting to the needs of the group and participants, their interests and ways of learning), in 2 main lines of work:

Sustainability (climate change, permaculture, bio-construction, ecological agriculture, agro-tourism, sustainable rural development and appropriate use of natural resources)
Human development (personal growth, entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence and management, inclusion, conflict management, gender equality, abuse of power, social inclusion)
