Project Summary

La Decentrale is what we like to call a 'catalyst project' which aims at helping people who are interested in permaculture and related topics gain the knowledge and insight they require to move forward. It is divided into several hubs which each focus on one aspect of sustainable living. We host a variety of workshops for people looking to share and learn from each other as well as hosting people who want to be directly involved in permaculture activities on the property.

Project Description

La Decentrale is a property consisting of one large house and aprox. 3 acres of land which is dedicated to edible vegetation growing during in the summer and snow storage during the winter, it is still a young project in regards to physical activities on the property and a lot of work needs to be done, we are always working on plans to make the property more sustainable.
There is also and additional political basis to the project which aims at developing a new socio-political structure of governance based on the principles of permaculture and the decentralisation of political power (hence the name La Decentrale) we are constantly thinking up new ways to go about this and are always happy to receive new input and ideas.
We are happy to give accommodation to people who are interested in getting involved and more information about this and contact information can be found on our website which is written in English, French and German http://decentrale.ch/

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 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.
