Feeding Ourselves Sustainably

TEACHING PERMACULTURE CREATIVELY:
A NINE-DAY TEACHER TRAINING

February 27– March 8, 2009
Camp Epworth, High Falls, NY
Cost: Sliding scale $1,100 - $1,500; commuters pay less; some scholarships may be available.

Given that events make the best teachers, it follows that our role as educators is to design learning events.  In this course, we will explore how to create events that teach permaculture, applying ecological principles and processes to the design of permaculture workshops, courses, and other experiences.  Learn how to create effective learning environments based on quick assessments of students and their learning modalities, eight intelligences, and other niche characteristics.  Each student in this course will design and run short classes and exercises, speak in public, plan and budget for an event, and coteach a one day permaculture workshop at course end.  What do whole learning systems look, feel and sound like?  Come find out!  The best way to learn is to do, and to have fun doing it!  Join us!  Limited to 25 certified permaculture design course graduates; pre-course preparation required.
