NEXT PROGRAM "Learning and exploring sustainable life
principles" from 1st to 15th november 2001
This is a basic program for 15 days, were the participant
lives Permaculture in every day activities.
During this time the student may learn Permaculture principles, and would
acquire basic skills and knowledge that would be very useful for their
further life projects.
The program is based on the research activities applied on our daily life
and experience and would be supported by the study of the diverse
material. Gaia has an actualized library on sustainable related issues,
most of the material is in English.
During the program there will be plenty of opportunities to see
Permaculture living systems in different development stages, and you may
be actively involved in this process and work.
For the foreign participants, it would be a great opportunity to practice
Spanish on a daily basis, and to learn the social and cultural Argentine
context as well.
Some of the topics we would learn and practice together will be:
Permaculture principles and ethics
Design strategies
Forest Garden
Windbreaks
Greenhouse
Seed saving
Ponds construction and maintenance
Natural building
Appropriate technologies
