Project Summary

Project Description

Nova Oikos is an ongoing project under construction. It is a dream, a utopia on its way to reality! We operate in a kind of “slow management” … after all this is not a job, but a project of life and society!
Physically, it’s a place in the process of becoming a Permaculture Ecological Station. It is also a familiar homestead, and like in many families, with some “outstanding issues”. However, the goal is to transform it into a place to disseminate environmental practices, by offering a space for learning and experimenting. Situated in Camboriú, Santa Catarina, in a “reforestation” of pine and eucalyptus and a secondary forest regenerating since 1980, we are blessed with lots of water and Sun all year long! We aim to protect this space from the developmental babarity of local region and facilitate the mind-opening of those who pass by!

Ideologically we are ecologists and humanists, considering that one way to generate changes in the current political and economic system is by the dissemination of ideas and practices related to cultural change and the radical paradigm shift. Under the banner of permaculture, with its ethical principles (Fair Share, caring for the Earth and for People), also try to bring everyone and everything that we imagine under the big umbrella of Degrowth: Transition Towns, the Global Ecovillage movement, buen vivir, Human Rights added to the Earth Rights, Permaculture, Solidarity Economy, Agroecology, common goods and resources, Open Source, Creative commons, Co-housing, among many other alternatives.

In the summer of 2013, we will convene a strategic force to create the final permacultural design of the site and start the works on buidings, sanitary and energy structure! Contact us if you want to join: [email protected]

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.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With 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.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
