#SDGAction44006
Description
The initiative aims to develop a refugee-led organisation to learn, teach and promote permaculture in settlements/camps everywhere, increasing capacity for resident autonomy and resilient livelihoods under challenging, distressing and crowded conditions.
Through applying permaculture strategies and design methods, refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) can meet their own needs for food, water, shelter, internal economy, green, restored environments with shade, gardens, living and learning centres, and social spaces.
We work across culture, faith and nations to achieve social and ecosystem restoration, giving communities and individuals immediate strategies and skills they can take with them, leaving behind improved land for host countries.
Stage One
Globally recognised permaculture courses were held in 2019 across three continents in countries of greatest refugee density - Bangladesh, Iraq, Turkey, Greece and later Malaysia and the Philippines. Courses in Africa and some of the bigger camps in Uganda and Kenya started a little later. Experienced permaculture teachers invited by local NGOs, taught refugees, IDPs, and included local NGO staff and citizens in the classes for mutual understanding and shared knowledge.
This first stage comprised face-to-face learner-centred teaching, with all teaching findings documented, and compiled into a booklet called “Teaching Permaculture to Refugees in Camps” and widely distributed to anyone who thought they might teach permaculture in refugee settlements.
Each Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) was also documented as a report and posted to our website.
Stage Two
It was hoped to spread and embed permaculture in the refugee camps by following the first stage with face-to-face teacher training for PDC graduates. However, with the onset of Covid-19, this plan was not possible, and all training initiatives slowed down and transitioned to local management and responsibility.
As a result, solutions and methods have changed to local online and zoom sessions. Local NGOs are now being assisted to write their own curricula in local languages, and teach it through mobile phones and ipads. The Ethos Foundation working in East Africa, led the way with IT teaching methods, followed closely by the Philippines and Malaysia. Refugees continue to engage in implementing projects which they determine based on their needs and the outcomes from learning permaculture.
At the time of writing, refugee uptake and engagement is escalating in East Africa, Asia and West Pacific and is reaching populations of ethnic minorities previously considered unreachable because of the problems with translation. In general, the effects of Covid-19 on refugees has been and continues to be so serious that more new and radical teaching strategies and methods are urgently needed so permaculture can relieve suffering and poverty.
Stage Three
Refugees, in coordination with local NGOs will take over the management of the projects. P4R regional branches will continue to assist local NGOs and refugee initiatives with information and monitoring.
Where possible, P4R will raise funds for the projects. When it is safe to travel, the organisation can provide a mentoring role and assist with evaluating results which will be shared on the website.
After training, course participants are encouraged to teach each other and as many as 100 people in their neighbourhoods, camps and villages. This will be by word-of-mouth, in-person workshops, as well as using mobile phones to share information and demonstration videos.
Teachers will be given teacher training preferably face-to-face and also online. Computer technology is used to transfer free online advanced courses where the languages and technology are compatible. In many cases, technology transfer is considerably limited by translations available and in the range of languages required.
Currently, online information resources are primarily in English, and P4R is starting to collect permaculture materials in different languages, as the percentage of English-speaking refugees seeking online access is very small.
It is our aim to provide highly visual teaching resources for the less literate, and in many more languages and dialects. Personal contact is kept with NGOs and refugees using many forms of modern technology, sometimes funds are obtained and results and guidelines are posted on the website. Seminars will be held to sustain a sense of purpose and develop what is working.
P4R consists of a broad voluntary global network with a central committee headed by a facilitator, where representatives from different regions share information and experience through regular meetings. Representatives also work across the networks as needed, and share reports and findings to the facilitator and through shared platforms to the broader network. The initiative aims to become a refugee-led organisation.
The website is public, and a periodic newsletter summarising outcomes and developments of on-the-ground projects, is widely circulated for anyone expressing interest in this work, including individuals and organisations with a concern for refugees, asylum seekers, Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs) and permaculture applications in refugee settings. P4R supports local governance and embraces diversity and grassroot solutions.
The regional groups are autonomous, but all are governed by the permaculture ethics of care and principles of restoration of the environment and society. Regions are broadly grouped according to historic and environmental traits eg. East Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia West Pacific. The number of regions is growing.
It is our policy to increase refugee input into the projects which are presently designed by local NGOs, as well as to integrate local citizens and NGOs in all projects and outcomes, for maximum benefits for surrounding areas and societies. Permaculture implementation varies according to particular environments, needs and refugee populations and flow.
For this reason, local and diverse governance is widely supported, indeed embraced. P4R draws on professional people and resources from the global permaculture community and the UN, for example, incorporating appropriate UN SDGs and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. Knowledge, skills and governance are continually revised and updated in line with world events and disasters, as well as innovations, as are methods and support for local projects on all continents.
Each project is evaluated and reported on our website, and each PDC is monitored and evaluated by teachers and students for content and presentation. Funds are supplied for monitoring and implementation for up to two years after training. In addition to individual project reports for each group, the composite results of effectiveness has been compiled and published into a booklet with recommendations for teaching in camps and settlements.
