- €100.00 – €250.00
wildflowers are an important part of Permaculture

Development education and Permaculture

Development education is about exploring the root causes of local and global issues and creating positive action.
Permaculture is an ethical system of conscious design which is founded on principles derived from nature. It is used to create truly sustainable human settlements.

In this workshop we aim to bring the two approaches together to design real solutions to many of the issues we face today.

What will this workshop cover?

• Solutions to many of the issues we face as a global community.
• Empowerment, Inspiration, Connection and nourishment!
• An exploration of the meanings of ‘development’, ‘sustainable’, ‘regenerative’,’justice’.
• Untangling the complex web of linked problems to find patterns and effective points of intervention.
• Turning problems into opportunities.
• Application of this thinking practically in our own lives, our communities and the wider world.
• An understanding of the basics of Permaculture ethics and principles.

It 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.
