📅 2025 (six‑day convergence; specific dates announced via PermaYouth and Permaculture Australia) | 📍 Online and Australia‑linked global participation | 🏷️ conference

The International PermaYouth Convergence (IPYC 2025) is a six‑day global gathering of young people, educators and mentors focused on permaculture, youth leadership, arts, culture and music.[5] Hosted under the umbrella of Permaculture Australia and the PermaYouth network, the convergence provides an immersive environment for teenagers and young adults to explore how permaculture ethics and design can inform climate action, food systems change, community resilience and creative expression.[5] Participants can expect a diverse program of workshops, design labs, skillshares and discussion circles that cover topics such as designing school and community gardens, youth‑led climate initiatives, seed saving, storytelling, and regenerative arts.[5] Music, performance and cultural sharing are woven through the schedule, creating a festival‑like atmosphere that balances structured learning with informal connection and play.[5] The event is ideal for young people already involved in permaculture and environmental projects, school and homeschool groups, youth workers, teachers looking to integrate permaculture into curricula, and adult allies keen to support youth‑driven regenerative work. Attendees gain practical skills, new project ideas, international peer networks and access to ongoing mentoring opportunities within the PermaYouth community. The convergence also acts as a showcase of youth‑led permaculture projects from around the world, inspiring participants to return home with renewed confidence to initiate or expand local actions.[5]
