Project Summary

We are committed to empower people to design, build, and develop functional permaculture systems, to turn edible and nutritious organic gardens as well landscapes into stable and viable ecosystems. We allow people to participate in the creation of a NEW PERMANENT CULTURE assuming responsibility for their actions. THIS RESTORES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PEOPLE AND NATURE AND ELIMINATES THE ARTIFICIAL SEPARATION. ACADEMY for PERMACULTURE DESIGN offers .. PDC – PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE Teaches the holistic view of permaculture According to the curriculum of Bill Mollison. We have expanded upon this curriculum by adding focuses on planning and botany.  DESIGN // PLANNING – COURSES AND WORKSHOPS In these workshops, we teach a wide range of planning tools and methods to create permaculture systems based on the permaculture design principles. Participants work intensively in groups on the planning and implementation of real permaculture projects, usually in the gardens of the participants. SPECIAL PERMACULTURE COURSES AND WORKSHOPS The academy offers a diverse spectrum of permaculture courses and workshops to increase your knowledge about nature and permaculture gardening. These courses take place in a wide range of projects so that participants can see how permaculture gardens are built and how they develop. RELATED COURSES These permaculture courses help students achieve the goals outlined above. (such as Dragon Dreaming, non-violent communication, etc.)

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.
