Introduction to Permaculture
with Edouard van Diem
July 22nd – 23rd at the Practical Permaculture Institute, Zanzibar
(in Kiswahili and English)
For planners, seekers, self-employed and future-oriented people
Permaculture is a set of methods which are coupled with an accurate observation of nature, and makes them available for the design of systems. Whether we start in our own garden, plan for whole communities, villages or municipalities, the basic principles are applicable everywhere and act in the direction of future development according to the model of nature.
This course is aimed at permaculture beginners and other interested parties. The aim is to work out the basic concepts and methods of Permaculture. People with the goal of using Permaculture in the private sphere or to integrating it into professional contexts receive a well-grounded foundation.
Course content
• History, ethics, philosophy, goals of permaculture
• Design (principles, design process, patterns / language)
• The fields of application garden, agriculture and self-sufficiency
• The fields of application architecture, building and infrastructure
