The course is targeted at anybody who wants to become a more effective and sustainable participant in today's world. It is interactive and designed to make you a more useful person capable of designing and developing sustainable systems anywhere in the world.
“Our program is under continuous improvement and is determined to put the design back into the Permaculture Design Course, drawing on our broad experience in the design & development of over 1400 projects on 5 continents in every climate. Students will have the opportunity to complete a minimum of 5 design projects throughout the course which are developed & presented in groups allowing for continuous feedback and improvement. One thing that won't change however is our Day to a Subject format, following the sequence of the curriculum: 'Permaculture: A Designer's Manual' (Bill Mollison, 1988, Tagari Publications)” – Darren Doherty
Graduates of this 93 hour course will be awarded an Open World Foundation Permaculture Design Course Certificate.
Local guest speakers Guillem Ferrer, Alberto Fraile, Toni Font, Rafa Salas, Miquel Ramis and Slow Food IB among others will participate.
The course will be translated from English to Spanish (and Spanish to English) by Ana Digo?n.

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 TeacherWith 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. |
