 What's So Special About Our Courses |
|
|
- Our classes are longer. Many Permaculture
courses are taught in 10-11 days leaving participants wanting more. Courses
taught by the IIEA are among the best in the field and are at least 15
days long.
- We have more teachers than other
courses typically featuring only one or two people. Up to ten teachers
per course is common.
- Although official class time is
9 a.m. to 5 p.m., a diverse group of presenters will be offering from
one to three events per evening, often until 11 p.m.
- New material developed since
the publication of Permaculture: A Designer's Manual. For instance,
detailed information on the nuts and bolts of CSA farming, retirement
crops, how to devise your farm/organization's legal structure to avoid
paying unnecessary taxes, examples of making a living in ways that don't
cause you to compromise your ecological/social values, straw bale and
other "post-industrial" architecture, valuable new written handouts, illustrations
& resource lists.
- We appear to be the only permaculture
teaching organization whose course food is virtually be all organic and
purchased or donated directly from the farmers who produce it!! It may
cost more but we have to walk our talk, don't we?
- Scholarships to encourage participation
by people of diverse cultural and economic backgrounds. Due to our strong international
recruitment, you'll often be learning alongside colleagues from other
countries.
- Our teachers will be people making
their living doing permaculture not just teaching it.
