SUMMARY:European Permaculture Convergence
DESCRIPTION:The European Permaculture Convergence comes to  Ireland!\nCome and join us in Ireland this summer to create and expand  “NEW PARTNERSHIPS FOR PERMACULTURE” at the European Permaculture Convergence. \nIt takes place at Knockree Hostel\, Enniskerry\, County Wicklow\, from the 8th to 13th August. \n \nWhat is the European Permaculture Convergence?\nThe EUPC is  intended to support development of permaculture practice across Europe. It is aimed at developing the more experienced community of practice to contribute to building and strengthening permaculture action. \nIn addition\, this years’ theme of ‘New Partnerships in Permaculture’ looks outward to other groups\, movements and individuals who are working towards similar goals. \nWe are inviting speakers\, and listeners\, from related organisations on the Island of Ireland to participate via panel discussions and workshops during the convergence. We hope that this will facilitate cross fertilisation with permaculture and strengthen all of our impacts. \nAre you ready to inspire\, connect and expand Permaculture in Europe?\nTo attend\, offer a talk or workshop\, organise a ‘fringe’ event\, and volunteer at this year’s European Permaculture Convergence\, visit the event website www.eupc2018.ie\, and follow updates on our facebook event page.

Not your usual teacher training course! \nWHO IS IT FOR?\n\nComplete beginners looking to start teaching Permaculture\nMore experienced teachers looking to expand or reinvigorate their practise\,\nAnyone who wants to expand their informal adult and community education teaching and facilitation toolkit\,\nTeachers in formal settings looking to bring in deeper and more holistic learning.\n\nWith tutors Suzie Cahn\, Hannah Mole and guest tutors from our PDC. \nThere are a maximum of 8 places available on this course so book now to include yourself in this exciting opportunity! \nWHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS COURSE?\nThe course is fully integrated with elements of Carraig Dúlra’s Permaculture Design Course and the Irish Permaculture Gathering(Gathering ticket included) \nWith the option of also using your new skills to facilitate a session\, if attending the European Permaculture Convergence after the teachers course. (Tickets for the convergence separate from www.EUPC2018.ie) \nThis means that it will be a completely unique\, once-off opportunity to start your teaching/facilitation journey or to develop your skills in a very engaged ‘live’ setting. \nWe are designing a dynamic space for each participant to develop their own unique style of teaching. We’ll be using the approach that we have honed through bringing our own diverse past learning and applying it to the Permaculture Design Certificate Course that we’ve been offering at Carraig Dúlra over the past 5 years. Our combined teaching experience spans standard permaculture formats\, formal and informal community education\, further education college courses and individual mentoring. \nThe Carraig Dúlra PDC has people care and a deep understanding of diverse learner needs at its core.  Our style nurtures and uses our innate ecological intelligence and brings nature’s design into play to enhance our teaching and facilitation. This approach takes into account both individual learning journeys and a collaborative group culture using active and reflective learning and a designed immersive learning environment. This allows for high levels of peer to peer collaboration between educators\, and learners alike. We also explore how to create informal immersive learning environments\, and includes lots of games and fun or ‘edutainment’ (education and entertainment). \nDuring the course you will learn through a diversity of methods: observation\, reflection and analysis\, practise\, peer to peer work\, supportive guidance\, and mentorship from experienced teachers. \nYou can expect it to be lively\, interactive\, learner led\, community based\, innovative and fun! \n \nWHAT YOU’LL DO ON THE COURSE:\n\nSee and learn from the diverse teaching and learning styles of our PDC tutor team.\nExperience the ‘behind the scene’s of a PDC\, join planning and review meetings\nDesign sessions\, solo and with a co-tutor\,\nPractise presenting and facilitating in a variety of settings\,\nGive and receive feedback\,\nEvaluate different settings\,\nReflect on and evaluate your own practise\, explore intentions\, goals\, and emerging style as an educator and design your pathways forward\,\nAvail of one to one mentoring with experienced tutors\,\nListen deeply\,\nBust some fears!\nAccess opportunities for further ‘shadow teaching’ and mentorship\,\nAttend the Irish Permaculture Gathering and teach a workshop there\,\nVisit Carraig Dulra a 10 year old Permaculture research and learning centre\,\nChallenge and empower yourself\, build self-confidence and have fun!\n\nAs we are fully integrating this with the PDC  there are a maximum of 8 places available on this course. \n  \nWHAT TOPICS ARE COVERED ON THE COURSE?\nWhile we are using Permaculture design to design the teaching\, the course is very suitable for teachers and facilitators in various disciplines. We welcome educators from all spheres. We won’t be covering any PDC content or topics other than what you get to sit in on during the PDC itself\, so if your Permaculture knowledge is somewhat faded or non-existent you might want to brush up a little before coming to the course. \n \nTOPICS COVERED\n\nPhilosophy and Ethics of teaching\nAuthentic teaching\nTeaching and Learning Styles\nTeaching approaches\nEcological intelligent teaching methodology inspired by permaculture\nCreating positive learning environments\nFear busting\nPresentation Skills\nEvaluations and Feedback\nSession planning\nCourse design\nTeaching tools\nWorking with natural systems – Reviewing and tweaking in-course\nCommunity building\n‘Edutainment’ – Games\, energisers and fun in teaching\nRunning practicals\nWorking with different sized groups\nCollaboration and team-work between teachers\nParticipation and consent\nEconomics of teaching\nVenue logistics and variables\n\nAnd more…. \nHOW MUCH DOES IT COST?\nYour investment for the entire course is €540.  Deposit option and Payment plans are available. \nThis includes: \n\n8 full-on days of dynamic learning\,\nAll food\, local\, organic\, vegan\, plentiful and delicious!\nFree Camping onsite (beds in hostel may be available if booked separately directly with the hostel in advance)\,\nTicket for the Irish Permaculture gathering\,\nCourse Workbook\,\nCourse Certificate\,\nThe opportunity to follow up the course by attending the European Permaculture Convergence which is happenning 2 days later at the same venue.\nOpportunities for further shadow teaching and collaborations with Suzie and Hannah.\n\n\nWHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?\nIf you need some more information about the course\, content or logistics please contact hannah@earthcare.ie \nIf you are looking for further information about booking and payment plans please contact mike@dulra.org \nThere are a maximum of 8 places available on this course so book now to include yourself in this exciting opportunity!\nBooking at http://www.dulra.org/courses/transformative-holistic-teaching-methods \n \n

SUMMARY:Environmental Forestry walk.
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Forestry?\nA story\, a forest\, an invitation. \nWhat next?\nby Kay Mole \nWhen you need to change your farming.  Whether life has thrown you a curve ball or you have just had enough of struggling against the odds and the weather. There are a few choices. \nFinding myself in this position a few years ago I took a hard look at those choices. With the help and support of my family\, I decided that forestry would be the best option. However\,  after almost 20 years of farming the land organically\, none of us wanted to go the usual route of spray all\, plant conifers and walk away! \nWith the help of my Permaculturist daughter  Hannah Mole (it helps to have some skills in the family) and input from the rest of the family\, I decided to plant hardwoods. \nI did considerable research myself\, and designed a plan for my farm. It wasn’t easy to find a forester who would be willing to plant this for me.  After talking with Prosilva\, I contacted Manus Crowley of Enfor environmental forestry. \nFrom the start Manus was enthusiastic about planting of hardwoods and went out of his way to find the various species that I wished to plant. He was  helpful in completing the paperwork and dealing with the department. \nNow\, almost 3 years on I have a beautiful growing forest of varied species.” \n\nInvitation\nIf you are considering your options for forestry\, but would like a more interesting and environmentally friendly site that still offers you income potential\, you are warmly invited to a talk and tour of  this young forest. \nWe are running this as a free event in conjunction with the Roscommon Lamb Festival.

SUMMARY:Designing Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Development education and Permaculture\nDevelopment education is about exploring the root causes of local and global issues and creating positive action.\nPermaculture is an ethical system of conscious design which is founded on principles derived from nature. It is used to create truly sustainable human settlements. \nIn this workshop we aim to bring the two approaches together to design real solutions to many of the issues we face today. \nWhat will this workshop cover?\n• Solutions to many of the issues we face as a global community.\n• Empowerment\, Inspiration\, Connection and nourishment!\n• An exploration of the meanings of ‘development’\, ‘sustainable’\, ‘regenerative’\,’justice’.\n• Untangling the complex web of linked problems to find patterns and effective points of intervention.\n• Turning problems into opportunities.\n• Application of this thinking practically in our own lives\, our communities and the wider world.\n• An understanding of the basics of Permaculture ethics and principles. \nIt will be of interest to anyone volunteering in local or international contexts and those involved or interested in social and environmental justice issues. It will also serve as an Introduction to Permaculture course. \nMore details:\nThis workshop is a collaboration between Carraig Dúlra research farm\, Earthcare design consultancy and Comhlamh development workers in global solidarity. \nIt includes a 2 day residential in Carraig Dúlra Wicklow and 2 optional evenings in Comhlamh offices\, Parliment street\, Dublin 2. \n7th of March 6:30- 8:30 in Comhlamh offices\, Parliament street D2\n21st March 6:30-8:30 in Comhlamh offices\, Parliament street D2 \nResidential camping 7/8th of April Carraig Dúlra\, Wicklow \nWe are running the fee on a sliding scale to make the course accessible as possible. \nWaged €250; Low waged €200; Unwaged €100 and we have limited places available. \nAdvance booking essential. \nFor more information email gareth@comhlamh.org

SUMMARY:Practical Permaculture Design - An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:This 1 day workshop will be an introduction to land based applications of Permaculture design. It will offer a pragmatic introduction to the what and the how of Permaculture; an overview of the main concepts and principles and patterns involved and how to use them.
