REGISTRATIONS – Opens on February 1st.

This course covers the core curriculum of Permaculture design, offering you the tools to create ecological, social and economic systems that effectively provide for your needs while regenerating the landscapes around you for the benefit of future generations.

In addition, the course is designed to give you the social and leadership competencies to successfully face the challenges of creating a Permaculture project. We will draw on Projecto New Discoveries 25 years of experience in social regeneration and training of leaders and facilitators, as well as the know-how of skilled guest instructors, to give you effective tools for communication, teambuilding, collaborative decision-making, conflict resolution, and personal growth.

Our teaching team consistently receives praise from students for being knowledgeable, caring, and using a diversity of teaching methods. We strive to balance theoretical learning with abundant practical sessions, some located in parts of the farm where examples of what’s being taught are being applied. Our goal is to offer full learning cycles, allowing students to experience and fully integrate the curriculum.
