    Katherine Trebeck - CoCan meetup 2026-10-25 CoCan

    Since 2016 CoCanberra (A SEEchange group) has been building a new economy on the ground, using the concept of “Climate Co-ops” to provide for our needs in ways which are compatible with a thriving community and natural world. In the process, communities obtain ownership and control of the organisations which meet their needs. We also explore the problems and do case studies of successful solutions through our weekly radio show Behind the Lines, and the Align in the Sound Podcast. The New Economy Network of Australia is a nationwide Co-operative networking individuals and organisations who are working to transform Australia’s economic system so that achieving ecological health and social justice are the foundational principles and the primary objectives of the economic system. Katherine Trebeck Katherine’s roles include Economic Change Lead at The Next Economy, Strategic Advisor to the Centre for Policy Development, teaching at the University of Edinburgh. She is a Distinguished Vistor at ANU's Planetary Health Equity Hothouse, was 2024 thinker-in-residence at the Australian Health Promotion Association, is a New Economics Senior Fellow at the The Zoe Institute, and is a Fellow of The Post Growth Institute. She co-founded the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll) and also WEAll Scotland its Scottish hub, instigated the group of Wellbeing Economy Governments (WEGo) – comprising Scotland, New Zealand, Finland, Wales, Iceland, and Canada – the subject of the documentary ‘Purpose’. She is a WEAll global Ambassador and Strategic Advisor to WEAll Australia. There is way more from previous adventures, but I’m sure you get the idea….

    Permaculture for Refugees n Permayouth - Rosemary Morrow - Morag Gamble - Maia Raymond 2021-12-03 BTL

    Permaculture is more than merely crafting a sustainable food garden, it is creating a whole system that interweaves all components of life which enables the ‘gardeners’ to thrive. Never has this model been needed more than in those places of devastated earth that have seen people and communities decimated by repeated war and conflict, by famine and lack of basic healthcare, in truth, a lack of humanity and the total disintegration of a functioning eco system. Three people who are bringing permaculture to communities seeking not only to survive, but to rebuild and envision a future that can be returned to sustainability, are: Morag Gamble, founder of the Permaculture Education Institute, who for the past 25 years, as a Global Permaculture Ambassador, Morag Gamble has led programs in 22 countries. Her daughter Maia, a Permayouth Coordinator, who is the founder of the Global Permayouth and Rowe Morrow, an author and permaculture teacher who has worked and taught around the world for more than thirty years. Her current focus is on P4R (Permaculture for Refugees) and permaculture-based prevention of, and responses to, disasters. She is currently working with other permies who have experience in refugee camps and disaster zones to develop strategies for permaculture-based projects and teaching in these contexts. She is very interested in the relevance of permaculture during disasters and for the world’s very poor, and the impact of teaching permaculture.
