Course Overview
Building soil – Building community – Building resilience
​
No previous experience is required! Just openness and willingness to become part of the regeneration movement!
What will you learn? ​
​
In the online permaculture design course, we challenge the current paradigm of where our food and water come from, the way we are constructing our villages and towns, and how we live our day-to-day and interact with each other.
​
What can you do after? ​
​
Our Online Permaculture Design Course graduates have gone on to become change-makers all over the world, designing their own land projects, founding eco-communities, redesigning their businesses, becoming writers, content creators, spearheading policy change, and continuing to teach the permaculture principles and ethics.

Tuition
Program​
Every module of this certified online permaculture design course includes one interactive class where students will have the opportunity of asking questions and solving any doubts. Moreover, students will have access to the online forum where they will receive ongoing support from the facilitators.
​
Why recorded classes?
​
Recorded classes come from a previous 72 hours online PDC and will include moments of debate and questions from the students that had joined the course. The reason for this is that great part of a PDC are moments of reflection, and we have chosen to include other student's questions and debates to allow you to reflect and part-take to the process on your own.
​
All online classes are recorded and available for self-paced study

MODULE 5 - FINAL DESIGN PROJECTS (Online)
27th April - 8th of June

​
To be able to provide an international 72 hours Permaculture Design Certificate, the course will include a final design project. All students will do a project simulating the design for a client. The project will be presented at the end of the permaculture design course and will be a great opportunity for the students to metabolise the newly-acquired knowledge and receive feedback from the teacher.
The hand over of the final designs will be organised with the teachers, who will provide feedback before delivering the certificate.
The Facilitators
Eduardo Terzidis is a storyteller with an ecological heart. As an engineer, he wanted to help the world, yet he felt the need to “be out there”, learning and sharing with the very people who seek the same change he envisioned. At the core of his work is the understanding that global change needs to be carried from the inside out, recognising the intricate web of which we are part and being able to play our role in support of all life. Today he focuses on teaching and managing consulting projects as well as producing films and books.
Nick Steiner is extremely passionate about exploring, developing, and sharing ways of regenerating the world around us. His focus is on working with water and finding smart ways to grow more with less work. He has been working and educating in the field of regenerative agriculture and permaculture for almost a decade. Through his job in building up Climate Farmers he has worked with hundreds of farmers all over Europe on their regenerative journeys.
Scott Gallant is a permaculture designer and educator with fifteen years of experience working predominantly in Central America. He is the co-founder of Porvenir Design, a landscape design firm specializing in productive landscapes, syntropic farming, water systems, and design of large multi-stakeholder projects.
Jack Hodgson is a qualified Permaculture Designer from London. He ran his own Permaculture No Dig Market Garden in Greater London for 4 years supplying the local community, markets and chefs his beyond organic produce.
He now runs an urban project where he grows microgreens and mushrooms in a 20ft shipping container, which he specialises in teaching others how to grow. He currently teaches and consults for a variety of projects.
