Rob Hopkin’s Story about 21 Years of Permaculture Courses at Kinsale in Ireland

A ‘pingback’ to this website has happened, referencing ‘The Manual for Teaching Permaculture Creatively’ that Robin Clayfield and Skye wrote back in to early 90s and launched in 1995. Rob Hopkins was a key note speaker at Kinsale College’s celebration of their Permaculture Couse being 21 years old (Kinsale is in Ireland) and this is a transcription of his speech. An inspiring read and I was very happy to see that our Manual was an influence on his teaching journey 🙂

Rob was responsible for coming up with the ‘Energy Descent Action Plan’ for his Permaculture Course participants to undertake (I understand) and then to kick start ‘Transition Towns’ and the Transition Network in UK.
