Today our FCS group was introduced to the Service Learning Aspect of our Creative Expression Module - a permaculture project focused around the Youth Project here at the Findhorn Foundation, in The Park. Our project had three components - the project itself, the documentation of the process and a collective presentation to the community of what was concieved and achieved. The process was to begin in the next few weeks, while presentation was to take place on December 2 along with our art portfolio presentations.
Project Outline:
Using the primary principles of permaculture (Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share), how can we, the FCS student group, better equip the Youth Project's space in the Park to help the youth feel more included in the community and to feel a sense of place? Through consultations with the youth workers, community work departments and the youth themselves, we were to determine needs and wants of the various parties involved, and then execute a project based on permaculture design principles.
