Cathrine Dolleris - Diploma Tutor Profile

Areas of Permaculture Design Experience:

My Permaculture diploma designs:

• Action Learning Pathway
• Permaculture Teacher
• Public Relations
• Setting up a LAND project in Denmark
• Building a strawbale house
• Seaweed mulch
• Universal tea
• Homestead design
• Forest garden
• Flex oven

Skills, technical expertise and areas of interest:

My experience as a geographer is about working with the interface between humans, human society and nature both in Denmark, South Africa and Asia. I have a broad outlook and understanding of international distribution of labour and goods, enabling me to understand permaculture on a global scale.

More practically, I have experience in non-land based designs such as developing skills within permaculture teaching and teacher training. I have worked a lot with communication, public relations, journalism, photography and graphic design in paid jobs and in my function as board member of the association Permakultur Danmark. I have also in this context successfully done fundraising for EU mobilities and to set up a LAND project in Denmark.

Within land based designs I have experience of designing and building a multi-functional load bearing straw bale house. I have worked out a homestead design for my own living including a forest garden, a rocket mass heater, and working with seaweed as mulch and creating a local, fossil fuel free tea.

About

I am dedicated to preserving life supporting systems in nature and in society.

I am a diploma tutor, based in Denmark. Main areas are organisation, communication, natural building and sustainable living.

I'm active in the Danish Association on the board of trustees and implementing a Danish LAND project. I do fundraising for permaculture nationally and internationally.

My background in geography, extensive travels and working within governmental and non-governmental sectors has given me experiences with especially poverty, gender, community development, ethnic minorities and the environment in a global context.

I took an interest in permaculture first time in South Africa in 2000 while working with Zulu farmers and have studied and applied permaculture principles in my later work in Nepal and Vietnam. I have also worked as a consultant evaluating and documenting rural development projects including permaculture projects and Farmer Field Schools. In early 2010, the time was finally ripe for me to take the permaculture design course in New Zealand.

I have since then attended teacher training courses, training on the Transition Town concept and a natural building and organic gardening internship in Thailand. I have worked on designing permaculture gardens, a strawbale house and my own more sustainable lifestyle. Teaching is becoming a big part of my livelihood and of my diploma. I teach PDCs and have taught on four Permaculture Educators' Courses and do intro-courses and talks and 2-day forest garden workshops.
