Legend of Badges
Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |

Explore the connections between new forms of ecological identity and stewardship, social justice, and community in Israel.
Project Description
Explore the connections between new forms of ecological identity and
stewardship, social justice and community in Israel. Work alongside
Palestinian-Arab, Bedouin and Jewish Israelis who are striving for a
just and lasting peace. Gain hands-on experience in ecological design,
green building and sustainable agriculture and put permaculture into
action in authentic cross-cultural settings.
Through engagement with a holistic
approach to world issues that encompasses inner, cultural, and outer
processes, you will broaden and deepen your understanding of sustainability
and ecology.
Learn from expert practitioners about cutting-edge ecological building
techniques such as adobe, straw bale, geodesic domes and permaculture design.
Engage in peace dialogues with Muslims, Christians, and Jews (Orthodox and
secular), visit their homes join together in service, and discuss ideas for
creating peace and justice in the region. Explore the notion of
‘balance’ within ourselves, among cultures, and with the Earth in
order to delve deep into sensitive international, community and personal
dynamics.
