skills and dresses of our ancestors

Project: Uniao Progressiva Chao Sobral

Posted by João Gonçalves over 12 years ago

on the 11 August, during the "Association Member Day" we dressed and grabed the tools of our ancestors and danced ... and the oxen cart

This activity, organised by hamlet volunteers, is included in the Association Member Day Program, it is an opportunity to have fun together while remembering and the children getting to know the way our parents and grandparents, ancestors used to dress and their skills, the daily tasks, the main mountain self&community-reliant livelihood activities.

Below: André Goncalves is the "corn thrasher", with the wooden&leather manual tool to beat the grain out ...

Below: Joao Goncalves is the "resin man", with bucket and axe on his shoulder used to collect and carry the resin-sap from the bleeding maritime pine trees, that bear on-with the dry rocky convex steep ridge xist mountain slopes!

Below: 2 pictures with girls and children dressing as gardeners, the-women-that-used-to-sell-sardines, the flour-mill-women, the bread-women, the seeding-season-women, the shepperd ... in the old days, and not so long a go, children would become part-time goat shepperds before 10 years old ... (Joao Goncalves as an example of child-partime-sheep-and-goat-shepperd, 80's and early 90's)

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.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	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.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
