We are thrilled to share that CBS Permahaven will be featured at the Aurora International Peace Conference:“The Role of Higher Education in Peacebuilding”,17 – 21 February 2025, Universität Innsbruck

Our presentation “Community Urban Gardens: Spaces for Sustainability Education and Peacebuilding,” Albina Dioba, Maribel Blasco, and Isabel Fróes is delivered by Albina Dioba.

🌱 Community urban gardens, such as CBS Permahaven, serve as living laboratories where education extends beyond the classroom – engaging the body, emotions, and well-being alongside intellectual learning. In a world facing deep socio-political challenges, these spaces foster resilience, inclusion, and peacebuilding by connecting people through shared sustainable practices.

Now more than ever, higher education must break traditional boundaries and integrate holistic approaches to learning that address real-world challenges. CBS Permahaven is proud to be part of this essential conversation.

On October 11, we had the pleasure of hosting a wonderful delegation from Karazin University, Ukraine, as part of the Aurora Universities Network staff exchange program. It was a fantastic day filled with inspiring discussions and hands-on experiences as we introduced them to the core principles of Permahaven.

The visit allowed us to share our vision of sustainability, permaculture, and community-driven solutions, sparking fresh ideas and perspectives on how these concepts can be integrated into their work and the broader Aurora network. We were thrilled to see their enthusiasm and look forward to strengthening collaborations within the Aurora Universities Network!

A huge thank you to all who came out to the Permahaven Season Kick-Off Event on Saturday! 🌱 Your energy and enthusiasm made it a truly special afternoon of connection, learning, and growth.

It was wonderful to see familiar faces and meet new ones as we explored the beauty of permaculture, shared the harvest results, and celebrated the start of a new season together. 🍎🍇 We hope you left feeling inspired and refreshed!

We can’t wait to see you all again for more events and collaborations in the garden. Until then, happy gardening and stay connected with nature! 🌿
