Date: 23 May
Speakers: Silvia Corna & Haytham Kanaan
Topic: Oases of Resilience — Land, Community & Living Knowledge
Through two very different yet deeply connected stories, this session brings together land, people and living knowledge. From a farm in historic Palestine functioning as a laboratory for ecological and cultural liberation, to remote villages across Europe where Social Permaculture is quietly reviving human and ecological connections both speakers invite us to look at permaculture not just as a design tool, but as a way of being in relation with the land and with each other.
Haytham Kanaan will share the story of Nabat Ecological Farm and its practice of rooting agricultural solutions in traditional heritage, local community and political consciousness. Silvia Corna will then bring her experience as an agroecological educator weaving bridges between generations, cultures and knowledge systems with humans always understood as part of the web of life, not separate from it.
Together, their stories trace a common thread: that resilience is not built alone, but grown through oases of practice, memory, and connection scattered across the world.
