Alface
O prazer de cuidar e estar na horta, o conhecimento dos habitantes de uma aldeia.

É comum que entre hortelões surjam conversas entusiasmadas sobre as suas hortas, as técnicas que usam e o que conseguem delas tirar. Foi este entusiasmo que quisemos registar. E foi também o olhar para o vídeo como um processo em que se valorizam conhecimentos, produzindo uma reflexão e gerando empatias a partir do exercício de ver e ser visto. A Aldeia das Amoreiras tem vivido desde 2010 um processo de participação com o objectivo de criar uma Aldeia das Amoreiras de Sonho ou uma Aldeia das Amoreiras Sustentável. Neste contexto, surge o vídeo como uma forma de valorizar os seus habitantes e o seu conhecimento numa época de transição de uma sociedade desintegrada do seu ambiente natural para uma época em que este conhecimento volta a ser importante.

No intuito de aprofundar a relação com os vizinhos da aldeia, fomos perguntar-lhes como eles vêem as suas hortas, entrando nos seus quintais fomos indagando como a aldeia se vê por dentro.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

pri_teacher

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
