What we am doing: we are having fun setting up an organic smallholding. Where we are: we are in some beautiful mountains 650m up and about 25 km from the sea in Asturias, northern Spain. What help do we need: All practical help and skills welcome. However at the top of the list are tasks such as gardening, repairing paths and fences and dry stone walls. also repairs to buildings and landscaping. (Guidance provided.) . Power and Communication: we are off the grid, so we are using renewable energy but we have a generator for back up and power tools. There is a full signal on the Spanish mobile phone network: ( Movistar ). so internet is available on your phone or laptop if you have a dongle. Accommodation: Accommodation is basic. Think of it as camping. it is. we have several good tents plus shower and washing facilities and a couple of caravans. Also my classic caravan serves as a kitchen dining room. Vegetarian food is provided, though you can self cater, or do a bit of both, your choice. meat eaters are also welcome. What help you give: Hours and days are to be arranged. There is some flexibility so please ask, but 5 hours a day 5 days a week should be taken as a minimum guide. Amenities: There is a shop and 2 bars in one of the local villages 3km away.on foot or mountain bike. we can collect from the local station (infiesto) which connects to Oviedo and Santander operated by Feve and is about a quarter of an hour away by car. The local town has all usual stuff shops, library, swimming pool (outdoor), bars, buses and trains and we visit at least once a week so we could arrange lifts occasionally. Free time: For recreation in this region of Spain there is canoeing, walking, climbing, caving, skiing and mountain biking and many beautiful beaches. For more info check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asturias What you should bring with you: a positive attitude, the desire to teach, learn, and have fun getting stuff done, Warm practical outdoor clothes, waterproofs, boots, hat and gloves. Some old work clothes gloves etc are available so don't stress about that but bring your own if you can, that way they'll fit better. we look forward to hearing from you soon.
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. |
