This course is taught by Fiona Morris, a landscape architect who has specialised in ecological design, bottom-up approaches, and urban agriculture. Her permaculture work ranges from designing and managing the demonstration and experimental project Transition Towns Vallei TTPermatuin in Wageningen to lecturing for Wageningen  University and helping the Farming Systems Ecology group to develop their first academic Permaculture course (starting September 2014). Fiona has researched Permaculture as a design methodology in her MSc. thesis, applying her findings by participating in the European Permaculture Partnership, and coordinating community design projects.

The course is supported by the advice of a biologist who shows you how to set-up your own experiments, or record and monitor the systems you design – get feedback to improve your work, and help inform others why what you do works! A range of other highly qualified and experienced guest lecturers will come by to share their knowledge during fun, varied, learning-intensive course days. You will enjoy lectures and design ateliers, fieldwork at the Transition Towns Vallei Permatuin, inspiring local field trips, organic vegetarian lunches, and between classes you benefit from online support providing extra materials and networking for fellow course members.
