Next PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE - 23 Feb - 13 March 2016

Project: Earthcare Education Aotearoa NZ

Posted by Inna Alex over 8 years ago

Our next PDC at Tui Community, Golden Bay, NZ is coming up!

PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE

by Earthcare Education Aotearoa

www.earthcare-education.org

 

23 Feb - 13 March 2016

Venue: Tui Community, Golden Bay, South Island, New Zealand

Main Tutor: Robina McCurdy and others

 

‘Permaculture’ is an integrated landuse design methodology based on ecological principles, with practical application from sustainable household to eco-nation to global restoration. The tutors of this course have worked in a wide range of countries and conditions. Their teaching styles are interactive, dynamic and fun. This residential course takes place in the Tui Outdoor Events Treefield in Wainui Bay, adjoining the Abel Tasman National Park. It covers the standard international two week Permaculture Design Certificate curriculum, taught in an integrated hands-on way, culminating in several land-use design projects. We are including an additional week to offer the opportunity to for participants to personally deepen in the ecological and social foundation of Permaculture, under the guidance of tutors who lives and work is dedicated to the conscious design and development of ‘all-species communities’. Upon completion, a Permaculture Design Certificate will be issued by The Institute of Earthcare Education Aotearoa.

 

The Course Programme broadly covers:

-  permaculture ethics, design principles and implementation,
-  organic growing methods (vege gardens, herbs, fruit),
-  rural land management (orchards, pastures, trees, water systems),
-  integrated animal systems,
-  water harvesting & storage, grey-water & ‘waste’ recycling,
-  ecological building,
-  renewable energy systems,
-  suburban-scale design.

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.
