A two-day professional and personal opportunity for parents, teachers and mentors of children to learn how to apply the ethical framework of permaculture to design and implement place-based and community-oriented education based on the ethos: I am curious to learn about how our relationship with nature’s patterns weaves people and places together to nourish life.
This course illuminates ways that permaculture can be applied to all aspects of teaching and weaves in best practices of both implicit and explicit permaculture methods as essential elements of your educational design. Therefore, it is not exclusively for outdoor, nature or garden educators, but rather is an opportunity for any educator working at any level, in any environment or specializing in any subject to learn how to integrate ethical, natural thinking tools, techniques and methods into children's education.
