Janet Millington, an experienced educator with a passion for outdoor education and permaculture is facilitating workshop experiences for home-schooled children, their parents, mentors and teachers.
Janet explained that her philosophy of education evolved over 50yrs of experience at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. What she learned was, “You cannot teach anyone anything they don’t think is necessary for them to know. Learning to learn is the key. That is achieved through meaningful and relevant learning experiences that are designed to motivate and interest the learner.”
This workshop introduces homeschool families, parents, mentors and teachers to the principles of Permaculture and outdoor learning, using the ethics of Care for Earth, Care for People and Return of Surplus as a foundation for gardening, education and community engagement. Held at the Eumundi Community Garden the program demonstrates how gardens can be used as powerful learning environments to support Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) education, wellbeing and student engagement, drawing on successful models developed at Eumundi State School’s Enviro Centre. Participants will gain practical skills, resources and lesson ideas to create meaningful outdoor learning experiences that meet curriculum requirements while building stronger connections with nature, community and lifelong learning.
Because of the amount of material provided, the course is limited to 10 participants. Applicants should fill in a short questionnaire which is straightforward.
Janet reminded me of what an amazing asset the Eumundi Community Garden is for the town. It is small at the moment – to reduce the amount of work needed to maintain it – but has the capacity to grow as more of the community get into gardens.

"Every Wednesday and Saturday, thousands of people visit Eumundi Markets to browse artisan stalls, meet local makers and enjoy one of Qld's best-known markets. What many don't realise is that every visit also helps fund community organisations, local projects and essential services that benefit the people of Eumundi and beyond. Whether it's supporting young people, improving local facilities or helping older residents stay connected, every market day creates benefits that extend well beyond the market itself," said Experience Eumundi General Manager Mark Cameron.

Eumundi is set to welcome readers, writers and visitors next month as the Eumundi Writers Festival returns from 4-6 September with a weekend of author talks, workshops and community conversations.
This year’s theme – The Human Condition – will be explored through more than 35 events across 6 venues, featuring over 45 authors, journalists and poets. The event will bring together exceptional Australian literary voices whose work explores love, loss, identity, resilience, politics, history, crime, romance, journalism and the universal stories that connect us.
Eumundi's boutique format gives audiences rare access to some of Australia's most celebrated writers through intimate workshops, meet-the-author book signings, Literary Lounge events, poetry recitals and informal conversations throughout the weekend.
Festival Director Dr Suzanne Campin said the event’s intimate village format was central to its appeal, giving people the chance to connect through books, ideas and shared experience.
“Stories have the power to bring people together and to support conversations that matter – that’s the magic of the Eumundi Writers Festival,” said Dr Campin. To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_148 ... See MoreSee Less
