The revival of the Northern School in-person Permaculture Design Certificate course continues this Autumn when we will be working in partnership with Warland Farm to stage the "extensive" (12 days over 12 months) version of our course. We follow the international syllabus, but the content will reflect our surroundings in the Central Pennines.
 
As usual, the course is open to all. It is suitable for busy people in the locality and in particular for artisans and those interested in developing livelihoods and enterprises, either with family or from a community base. Throughout, there is an emphasis on learning from Nature to help us deal with the complexity and uncertainty surrounding our everyday lives.
 
Warland Farm is on the border of Lancashire and Yorkshire near Todmorden. The Farm supports a growing collective of artisans who are working with a steeply sloping hillside typical of the Upper Calder valley.
 
Our course is led by Angus Soutar who is an internationally certificated permaculture tutor. Angus has been a member of the PAB since 1990 and has now been teaching the PDC for 30 years.
 
The course starts on October 12th 2021 and more details are provided on our website.

This PDC promises to be a unique experience; Lola and Kyle teach, based on their real-life journey with Permaculture from over 10 years of experience in various climates. It will be full of energy and excitement, knowledge and skills, connections and community.

They will cover the 72 hours of coursework required to receive a Permaculture Design Certificate over the two weeks. Sessions will be taught to accommodate all learning styles, combining lectures, group discussions, visual demonstrations, hands-on participatory learning and other creative ways of teaching permaculture.

You will immerse yourselves in the community life of A Quinta. Seeing firsthand how regenerative agriculture, integrated permaculture systems and holistic design are applied and maintained. Additionally, we give space and emphasis on connecting with the self (zone 00) on personal development and self-empowerment; giving participants life-changing tools for the future.

The Permaculture Design Course is a 72-hour often life-changing experience, accredited by the UK Permaculture Association.

The 7 modules of our online Permaculture Design Course bring us together as a learning community to explore practical and creative solutions for creating resilient ecosystems and designing abundant lifestyles and livelihoods. We will discover how we can work with, rather than against nature to fulfil our human needs whilst caring for the earth and the people.

The course has a strong emphasis on ecological and social design thinking and how this can be applied in different parts of our life and society. It offers us the opportunity to face the predicaments of climate breakdown and the biodiversity crisis and form our own healthy response to these challenges.

Each module consists of 5 to 10 live face-to-face teaching hours and some compulsory as well as voluntary assignments. You will work on your own as well as in small groups exploring different subjects and designing a project of your choice that you will present to the group in the final module. On each of the 7 modules we will have a guest speaker, some of whom live in different parts of the world and are able to share their practice and perspective.
