Yes, getting kids interested in Permaculture is a fantastic thing to focus on! I'm a teacher in the UK and think that an after school club is likely the most achievable way to go. However, there is also potential to get teachers talking about Permaculture in class if it can be related to national curriculum standards and brought to their attention by adding resources to sites like Twinkl and TeachersPayTeachers.

I've added a free book on TeachersPayTeachers and I'm working on a whole series of Children's book with characters that introduce different Permaculture concepts relevant to their area and the challenges they're facing. The eventual aim is for these characters to be animated and then teach Permaculture as part of a course that teachers can use with students.

Here's an early prototype of what I'm talking about with the animated characters: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Oua9jjDDFik[/youtube]

I'm developing a series of children's books where each book has a kid who is facing a different social or ecological challenge in their area and they use Permaculture principles to help solve the issue.

Here's a video version of the first book about a girl facing desertification in her village so you get the idea:

What I'd love to know is if anyone has particular stories they want me to try and write or particular topics to focus on?

I'm working on a series of story books for kids that introduce different Permaculture concepts and wider social issues in a variety of settings:
