Meet the Apprentices

On the Permaculture Diploma Pathway

Currently NPA has approximately 70 registered apprentices from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Estonia and Germany. We like to give credit to the great design work they are doing and how they are journeying on the Diploma pathway. Have a look at their profiles below.

What Our Apprentices Say

“From the first “Welcome Circle” friday afternoon until the last “Check out” sunday midday, I felt a personal transitioning through all the different exercises, assessing diploma work, grafting fruit trees, morning circles, “asking for help” circles, new ideas and perspective (like peoplezones:)), brainstorming/co-creating the next gathering, listing guilds and also all the informal settings with eating and making food together, meeting up in the big comfy couch every evening listening to other peoples stories, ideas and challenges, while it got dark and snowy outside (just missing a fireplace:)). I felt I transitioned into a more energetic and inspired person, with more fire on my designworks, with this new network around it.”

One of the Academy’s main ideas is that networking and meeting people from different countries and opens up new opportunities and networks for all participants and is part of creating an international learning community.
