Apprentices

Currently there are around 40 diploma apprentices from all Nordic countries, registered with the Nordic Permaculture Academy. They are all working hard towards their Diploma accreditations. Here are a few portraits and stories from some of us:

Kjerstin Klæboe

My diploma process focuses on further development of our permaculture site Rotad i Vånga, as well as identifying and shaping my different roles within this eco-system. The designs in my portfolio all aim to deepen my understanding of permaculture and eliminate my knowledge blind spots, as I teach permaculture as a tool for transition. Especially interested in the social spheres of permaculture

Based i Vånga, Skåne, Sweden

Thomas Dyrmann Winkel

Very interested in teaching permaculture, and doing permaculture designs aimed at children to re-connect them with nature. Also I have a keen interest in forest ecology. A main focus is the design of my regenerative lifestyle – hopefully a source of inspiration for others.

Tove Bang Nielsen

PDC from 2016 – Permaculture cooperation in Kenya – permaculture dissemination at a broad level (courses, lectures, demonstrations, designs) – in my garden – in the common garden at the ecovillage Friland, Denmark.

Marja Nuora

My diploma pathway takes me to a new regenerative and sustainable future.
By designing I learn a new profession as a permaculture landscape designer and find my way as permacultulturist at our site Iso-orvokkiniitty in southern Finland.
Focus areas are different kind of designs for customers and for Iso-orvokkinitty as a demonstration site.
