PDC and EDE in Bangladesh

Permaculture Design Course Thailand September 2nd to September 14th, 2019 Daruma Eco Farm, Bang Phra, Si Racha District, Chon Buri 20110, Thailand In the early days of permaculture, Bill Mollison’s Designer’s Manual was the stated standard for most PDC’s. Sometimes a PDC description would state that it officially covered the “14 chapters” which are listed here: Introduction (to permaculture) Concepts and Themes in Design Methods of Design Pattern Understanding Climatic Factors Trees and their Energy Transactions Water Soils Earthworking and Earth Resources The Humid Tropics Dryland Strategies Humid Cool to Cold Climates Aquaculture The Strategies of an Alternative Global Nation In a few places, these chapters can serve as a guide for a PDC that will wind through the maze of design concepts and supporting background material. The Daruma PDC definitely covers the topics in these 14 chapters but this is not the order (or format) it is presented. Every PDC course here at Daruma begins with an orientation tour of the farm to give you an overall impression of how individual elements integrate with each other. This often generates a broad range of questions. We will, however, hold off on answering most of these questions initially but don’t worry, if the course material doesn’t answer them, they will be answered in time. We also spend some time getting to know each other and sharing our goals. One reason for not answering all the questions in the beginning is the most common answer in permaculture courses is, “it depends.” So it takes a little time to establish the basic foundations which we start on right away. That foundation begins with two important topics: The state of the world (why we need permaculture design thinking) and what is permaculture and where did it come from (a comprehensive overview). The overview includes a good discussion on ‘influences’ on permaculture. Permaculture has been influenced by, incorporat

POR FAVOR LEER LA DESCRIPCIÓN COMPLETO DEL CURSO EN EL DOCUMENTO ADJUNTA ANTES DE DECIDIR SI APUNTARTE A NIVEL 1 O NIVEL 2.

Se exije mayor atención a los detalles y cuidado en la ejecucción. Se puede autoconstruir una vivienda digna con la información aprendido en Nivel 1. Pero si alguien te va a pagar para trabajar, van a exigir una casa más “perfecta” en todo sus detalles. Si no has construido nada nunca, este curso NO ES PARA TI. Recomendamos que antes de asistir este curso asistas al Nivel 1, luego construyes algo pequeño para ti mismo o un amigo, y luego vuelves al Nivel 2 con algo de experiencia.
