Social PEAS
Promimpresa is a partner of the Erasmus Plus project “Social Permaculture: Empowering an Active Society project” (Social PEAS 2021-1-CY01-KA220-ADU-000035198). The project has a duration of 30 months, starting in January 2022 and ending in June 2024.
Together with the project coordinator FILOI TIS GIS (Cyprus) and partners FRIENDS OF THE EARTH MALTA, FUNDACION INTRAS (Spain), Stichting Hekate Conscious Ageing (The Netherlands), ICEP (Slovakia), Promimpresa is pursuing the goal of an inclusive community which implement sustainable principles to achieve social and personal wellness.
The project aims to create permaculture training for people working with vulnerable adults, as well as for vulnerable adults to increase their knowledge and competencies to be able to use tools from social permaculture and nature therapy for improvement of well-being and social resilience while taking care of the environment.
- To support adult educators to increase their knowledge and gain expertise in regenerative social permaculture, nature permaculture and how to use permaculture gardens for different marginalised adults for wellbeing and to build resilient communities. This will be achieved thanks to creation of a training curriculum tailored on the adult educators needs.
- To provide adult educators with the necessary tools through the means of a manual and programme guide to create permaculture gardens and work programmes with marginalised adults
- To create opportunities for adult educators to continue with their professional development and gain certification for their learnings in nature and social permaculture.
- To increase awareness amongst adult educators on the interconnectedness of environmental and social issues and how their work can be a vehicle of transformation in both respects.
- To develop key competencies amongst vulnerable adults around self-care, self-reliance, active social participation, community work, social skills, co-design, food autonomy and green entrepreneurship to have the ability to participate in modern society.
- To improve well-being and social inclusion for adults through contact with nature, using non-formal education for engagement, through pilot projects that will be spaces for vulnerable adults and other community members to work on together. This will also support fighting stigma that marginalised adults currently experience.
- To develop self-paced online tools as open educational resources where all the didactic materials will be available for free for a wide reach of adult educators.
- Adult educators/trainers/facilitators/social workers
- People with mental health issues
- Vulnerable people (including people with disabilities, homeless people, elderly individuals, people with mental issue ecc.)
