Permaculture is a system of agricultural and social design principles centered on simulating, or directly utilizing, the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems. But PERMIND is more than this. PERMIND is an opportunity for adults with mental illness to learn from nature, to increase their autonomy, to know new people, to break the digital gap, to be respectful with the environment… very ambitious? YES! But realistic.
PERMIND is an eLearning platform that professionals working with people with severe and prolonged mental illness can use to learn how to create therapeutic gardens based on the principles of permaculture. In this platform you can find training sessions, tips, pieces of advice on how to establish a cooperative and good examples of the results that can be obtained. Everything related to PERMIND is made available through the digital learning platform.
