From the organizer:
What is a PDC?
A Permaculture Design Course is an internationally-recognized, 72-hour course resulting in a Permaculture Design Certificate. Taking a PDC is the best tool available for those who wish to take responsibility to become more resilient and self-reliant.
Permaculture is a network of comprehensive ecological design methods and techniques that addresses the “why, how and what” and empowers both individuals and communities to generate conscience and resilience. This is your opportunity to learn permaculture’s holistic tools to design and build a regenerative environment, food systems, communities, schools, businesses, and relationships in rural and urban spaces.
What to expect?
This 90-hour PDC promises to be a very unique experience, starting on 19th of May and finishing on 23rd of July.
The ‘Hand-crafted’ syllabus of the course will focus on urban surroundings to be as relevant as possible to the bio-region of istanbul.
Be prepared for a lot of interesting theory and a lot of practical time empowering yourself with knowledge, experience and real community engagement.
Participants will take part in the existing permaculture activities and see first hand how integrated permaculture systems and holistic design are applied and maintained.
