Visit of Maastricht Students to Permahaven

· ·

Despite the unexpected turn of weather, our day with the University of Maastricht students has been nothing short of delightful. Originally planning for a day of planting in the garden, we found ourselves seeking shelter as hail descended upon us.

However, our spirits remained high as we relocated to Kilen, where Albina Dioba, led an engaging and interactive session on permaculture principles and pro-environmental behaviur change. It’s been inspiring to witness the enthusiasm and interest our visitors have shown in our work and the underlying ethos of Permahaven.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Petar Sofev and CBS Green Office for their invaluable support in organizing and facilitating this event. Their dedication to sustainability and environmental initiatives is truly commendable.

Stay tuned for more updates on our collaborative endeavors and the exciting projects ahead!

Permahaven at CBS Green Business Forum, 2024

· ·

We’re thrilled to share highlights from the recent session at the CBS Green Business Forum, where the focus was on Urban Gardens as Learning Spaces for sustainability education at universities. Permahaven, our pioneering permaculture garden, took center stage as the first of its kind to be established at a business school. With an experimental approach, we’re integrating the permaculture design framework into our management education context.

The lively panel discussion featured Boncho Kostadinov and Peder Glud from Århus Green Business Academy, alongside CBS Associate Professor Maribel Blasco and postdoctoral researcher Albina Dioba. Together, they explored the exciting opportunities and challenges of utilizing urban gardens for learning and biodivercity conservation.

Following the enriching indoor discussions in Kilen, participants embarked on a sensory exploration of Permahaven through an interactive tour, further deepening their understanding and connection to sustainable practices.
