SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
Permaculture aims to create systems, particularly agricultural, sustainable and ecological, meeting with human nutritional needs while considering biodiversity. At the same time, eco-construction seeks to integrate the habitat into the natural environment as respectfully as possible. These two combined methods value a healthy and sustainable lifestyle while fostering social ties. They are based on ethics and principles that can, at different scales, be used for a sustainable future.
In this context we want to organize a training course in this field, in favor of young leaders and youth workers. During 10 days on Lefkada island, in Greece, 34 participants from different 9 countries will gather to experiment a sustainable way of life, close to the nature.
The participants will be trained in the optimal use of local resources. They will learn how to make compost, set up a social and participatory garden that will involve the locals in a long term. Interventions, presentations and workshops using non-formal education methods will enable them to acquire practical and innovative methods to educate the youth in these fields. Participants will share their knowledge, reflect and debate about the positive changes they can make to bring this principle of life on a wider scale. They will gain skills to initiate permaculture and eco-construction activities with young people. At the end of this training, they will create an innovative & educational tool with activity sheets on permaculture education and ecological constructions targeting young people of different profiles, origins and abilities.
AIMS OF OUR Training
1. To promote a more sustainable way of life, close to nature, with a dimension of mutual aid and respect, among young people of different backgrounds, origins and capacities.
2. To raise ecological awareness of youth and to stimulate their civic participation and reflection for a positive impact on their community through the youth educators/facilitators and young leaders who will be trained.
3. To strength the pedagogical and technical skills of youth workers/young leaders in the field of permaculture and eco-construction with the design and implementation of a participatory social garden in permaculture, and the creation of a sustainable habitat prototype.
4. To encourage the initiative spirit of the participants in terms of non-formal education in the ecological and sustainable way of life, among young people and the local population of the partner countries and elsewhere, in order to become a positive vector of change for the world.
5. To involve youth workers/young leaders in the creation of educational and interactive tools to promote educational activities related with eco-construction and social gardens in permaculture, and to multiply good practice.

VENUE
The island of Lefkas, also called Lefkada, is the fourth largest island of the Ionian Islands, after Zakynthos, Kefalonia and Corfu. It has an area of 303 square kilometres, a coastline of 117 kilometres and a population of about 22.000 in-habitants. Lefkada is an island with a wide spiritual tradition and it’s situated 378 km from Athens.
Discover the emerald island in: www.lefkada.gr
Our course will take place in Nydri village.
Situated on the East Coast of Lefkas (Lefkada), Nydri is the island’s main tourist resort. Halfway between Lefkada town (16 km north) and Vassiliki (21km south), Nydri has a small ferry port with ferries to Meganisi. Nydri has quite a good local bus service.
The immediate area around Nydri village on Lefkas is fairly flat and is good for walks through the olive groves. Try a walk to the Nydri Waterfalls near Rahi village (approx. 4km), or around Vlicho Bay to the little white church of Agia Kiriaki. For summer, Nydri is only a few hundred metres by sea, and in spring the flowers and blossoms are beautiful. Discover Nydri town in:

However, usually you will find better flight offer by arriving to Athens. When you arrive to Athens El. Venizelos Airport you have to take the city bus X93 to the bus station Kifissos, it will take about 60 min and the ticket costs 6 € (3€ for students). There, near to the bus stop, you have to take the bus to Lefkada which takes 5 hours and costs 36.80 € (cheaper if you book in advance online: KTEL- LEFKADA). Pay attention because there are only 4 buses from Athens to Lefkada (At 7:00, 13:00, 16:30 and 20:30) so please organise your flight so as to arrive early in Athens and catch the bus to Lefkada.
