We increasingly recognize the vital role of a healthy community in addition to raising awareness of the sustainable ecosystem. We recognize the importance of effective interpersonal relationships and also the relationship of the individual to him/herself .

Usually the focus of the PDC is to strengthen the ecosystem. From there, the pattern is transferred to other systems such as the social, the monetary system, the educational system, etc.

By designing the People Care PDC we have developed a workshop in which we put the development of sustainable social systems at the center.

People Care PDC is devoted to the social demands of our time and offers practical impetus to dealing with interpersonal challenges both in the private and professional environment. These includes conflict resolution, decision-making processes, organic planning and development processes, etc.

The course offers useful tools of permaculture design in theory and practice and connects them with adjacent systems and methods .

The aim of the course is to prepare and qualify the participants for strengthening and developing their social environment in communities, relationships, work and project teams, schools, GARDENS from Dreams, etc.
