In December 2018, I delivered a 12-hour course as an introduction to Bill Mollison's 72-hour course.

30 people attended the course full-time, delivered in Silivri, Istanbul.

The program was run in-kind with the purpose of increasing awareness, bringing together and establishing a community in the agricultural provence of Istanbul, where Malva Permaculture Farm is located. The local municipality provided the place, and I delievered the 10-hour theory course, followed by 4-hour demostration and practicum at the farm. 

Upon completion of the course, the group holds meetings every 2 weeks, priorly with my attendance. After works on finding an identity and a path, they are now: autonomous and functioning. And we have many more friends of the garden!
