The Permaculture Design Course for Educators led by Children in Permaculture trainers will take place online, on teleconference call! Join us to find out all about permaculture, covering the full Permaculture Design Course curriculum all related to how you would share this with children. Topics will include introducing permaculture, soil, water, plants, trees, growing food, social permaculture, the built environment, resource use, patterns, design processes, observing, analysing, designing, implementing and maintaining. At the end you will receive a Permaculture Design Course certificate from the Permaculture Association (Britain).

It will take place over 20 sessions on Tuesdays from 14th September (5pm-8.15pm UK time).

Permaculture design is all about creating ecologically sound ways of living & working based on observing natural systems and applying ecological principles. It equips you to care for the earth, yourself, and others in ways that are resilient, abundant, and rewarding. It can be a truly life-changing and empowering approach, whatever your circumstances.
This residential course will take place at 3 amazing sites over 3 long weekends - Henbant Permaculture Farm, Blaeneinion (beaver central!) and the Centre for Alternative Technology.
The timetable will be designed to make the most of each venue and follows the approved Permaculture Association curriculum. Teaching will be carried out through a variety of classroom based and outdoor sessions, with a mix of theory and practice. The general approach will be participatory and experiential.
About your tutors Angie & Alice: Angie and Alice have decades of experience in using permaculture thinking and applying it in practice in some very wide-ranging fields of activity – including Palestine, Kashmir & Uganda as well as the UK. They are also established teachers with experience of engaging diverse groups of adults in accessible and dynamic ways.

From Wendy Howard, owner of Quinta do Vale: I’m delighted to be bringing the crew from Circle Permaculture back to the quinta in 2021 to offer our second and third fully certificated PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSES! After 2019’s inspirational beginnings to our partnership and last year’s big disappointments (fully booked courses cancelled at the last minute thanks to CoViD-19 restrictions), it's a double pleasure. Endorsed by the Permaculture Association UK, George Christofis and team’s PDCs get enthusiastic reviews wherever they’ve held them (in Spain, Portugal and Sweden).

The course will run August 8th to 22nd 2021, with the option to stay on a further week for our Post-PDC Practical Course immediately afterwards.

Teachers will be Aline Van Moerbeke, Adriana Garcia Aparicio, Liselotte Willemijn and Wendy Howard.

We are running our successful fully taught online PDC again in June 2021. Led by Graham Bell, assisted by Mark Shipperlee and other guest facilitators, we are offering 24 places on this interactive course, covering the PDC curriculum, and finishing with a design project.
Graham is one of longest standing permaculture teachers in the UK, and Mark brings areas of interest around trees and woodlands, fruit growing, biochar, etc. A mix of taught sessions, discussions, group work and some work in your own time make up this 72 hour course - run on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons.

Graham and Mark have taught together online and face to face in various places in Scotland and also in Romania.

Please email Mark for a PDF of all the course info, details and the sliding scale of prices and bursary offers - we want to make this course accessible to as many people as possible.

To quote a couple of recent attendees "this PDC gave me tools, hope and a great community" - and "I now have direction and a deeper focus".

We would love you to come and join us as we explore permaculture together - as a way of designing our lives, our homes, our gardens, our communities, and our world.

Quinta Kania Farm and Surplus Permaculture Design are excited to invite you for a two week Permaculture Design Course (PDC) on a stunning 4-hectare farm in the center of Portugal.

The Permaculture Design Course promises to be a very unique experience. We teach, based on our real life journey with Permaculture, from over 10 years’ experience in many varieties of climate. The 72 hours of course work, required to receive a Permaculture Design Certificate, will be covered over a two week period. It promises to be a PDC full of energy and excitement, knowledge and skills, connections and community. 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. We will immerse ourselves in the life of Quinta Kania Farm seeing first hand how integrated permaculture systems and holistic design are applied and maintained. We give emphasis on connecting with the self (zone 00) on personal development and self-empowerment; giving participants life-changing tools for the future.
