PERMA

PERMA is a collaborative initiative to empower older adults through sustainable practices, lifelong learning, and community engagement. Rooted in the principles of permaculture, the project encourages participants to reconnect with nature, strengthen social bonds, and actively contribute to more resilient and inclusive communities.

The project recognises that learning does not stop with age. By integrating permaculture education into adult learning and active ageing, PERMA creates accessible and meaningful opportunities for older adults to develop new skills, exchange knowledge across generations, and remain actively involved in their communities. At the same time, it promotes environmental awareness and climate-conscious living, helping participants better understand how sustainable practices can positively impact people and ecosystems alike.

PERMA also places strong emphasis on inclusion and accessibility. Through flexible learning pathways, innovative educational tools, and community-based activities, the project ensures that adults from diverse backgrounds can participate in engaging and practical learning experiences. In doing so, PERMA contributes to the Erasmus+ priorities of lifelong learning, climate resilience, and accessible adult education, while fostering well-being, active citizenship, and intergenerational solidarity.
