Background:
Permaculture skilling program is very
important to enhance effective transformation of project design and
execution.
Permaculture it’s at the center of
climate change adaptation and establishing the most natural and community based
approaches on sustainability.
The PDC will have 4 groups of up to
15 participants and each one will focus on one of those areas as a specialism.
Their design activity will also be related to the theme. These in turn might
help provide a focus for the discussions at the EA Convergence.

convergence of EA of two days. You can
start your year by being part of the promising Journey of making a safe planet
with reliable skills for all ways of life in the permaculture way.
The PDC itself will be aimed at up to 60 participants. These will
in turn be broken up in 4 home groups, each will cover the full PDC but will
have a specialist interest focus of their own. Each home group will have 2
facilitators, Male Female and EA/ UK - ideally.
1: Permaculture landscapes.
Food forests, garden practical sessions, plant nurseries, propagation,
land development strategies. This group will help maintain plants in the plant
nursery, led on the planting practical sessions and help develop a maintenance
plan for the school gardens.
Design practical will be based on developing a site development
plan for a Local high school.
2: Bio-energy
Bio-gas and methane, wood char and wood gas, coppice establishment
and management. This group will help maintain the on site systems for methane
production and wood gas, collating
their experiences as a teaching resource for the school and other
participants.
Design practical will be based on developing school sized system –
from Nutrient capture, coppice planting and management to harvesting and use
3: Permaculture and schools
Permaculture is a powerful educational tool, how can we use it in
schools to change campus culture, reduce waste, water run-off and covert
nutrients in to healthy soil. This group will be considering how to bring
permaculture much more into schools, the
curriculum and the school campus culture. We have links
to the Ministry for Education in Uganda as well as several key regional
schools, our aim is to capitalize on these.
Design practical will be based on developing a scheme of work,
teaching resources and approaches to introduce permaculture themes into a mainstream
school
4: Permaculture and enterprise
Saving the planet, reducing emissions and building fertile soils
is one thing, but can we create new enterprise and livelihood using permaculture
design? This group will be looking at permaculture as a business model, we will
be incorporating some business skills, planning and reporting into this module,
pointing participants towards avenues for creating new jobs and businesses that
capitalize on permaculture structures.
Design practical will be based on developing a business plan for a
new permaculture enterprise. (Theoretical or real)
