FLINTS Coastal Permaculture Children and Caregivers’ Group

This is a local initiative based in Cliftonville, Kent, a town with a large migrant population which has been designated one of the most deprived areas in the UK. The project aims to bring local people together, beyond differences such as ethnicity, age, gender etc and help connect its residents, particularly the children and young people, to heart-led, supportive activities. The programme offers 32 sessions and monthly offerings of personal growth workshops. It will also set up a no-dig coastal permaculture food garden. Multilingual group members and translation aids will increase outreach to the diverse migrant communities. The structure of activities and free play will follow Rudolf Steiner’s concept of rhythm of ‘Breathing In’ and ‘Breathing Out’. Beneficiaries: Approximately 640 adult places and 960 child places generally from the Cliftonville, Thanet area of Kent (UK).
