Back to Permaculture Research Institute-Kenya
Project: Permaculture Research Institute-Kenya
Posted by Sheena Shah about 11 years ago
This exciting PDC is run in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin Natural Resources Programme with International permaculture teacher and designer JohnSheffy, who has served in the Peace Corps from 2002-2004 as a Natural Resource Management Volunteer in Togo. John has applied his Peace Corps skills both on a professional level, as a sustainable agriculture program manager in Kenya and Mexico, and as an international community building coffee roaster. PRI-Kenya permaculture teachers will also join the course to add their local expertise.. You will take your PDC alongside students from the programme.The emphasis will be on practical learning and at the end of you will gain an internationally recognized PDC certificate. At the end of the PDC there is the option of coming along on a study tour to a Coffee Farm to study coffee agroforestry systems in Kirinyaga area. The tour will come at an extra cost. This two and a half weeks of intensive learning, an incredible networking opportunity, and an internationally recognized qualification with PRI-Kenya will have a focus on creating climate change, resilient systems and food security. This design course also includes a special module on Farmers Managed Natural Regeneration.
The cost of the course is Kenyan Students: 25 000-35 000 KSH (PDC + coffee farm tour: 30 000-40 000 Kshs) & International Students: 65 000 KSH / 750 USD (PDC+coffee farm tour: 75 000 KES / 850 USD). We operate a sliding scale depending on income and also offer a limited amount of full or partial scholarships for the course.
If you are interested in finding out more about the course please contact Sheena on [email protected].

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. |
