INTEGRALPERMANENCE.ORG Mallorca PDC

Integralpermanence is committed to upholding the integrity and high standard of Permaculture Design training that is essential to effectively see this vital design science spread rapidly globally. Valuing the human element inherent to Permanent Culture, our courses extend the traditional PDC curriculum by integrating continual participatory community building and self- leadership development exercises which leave participants with tangible skills to support their continued work in their own communities after the course.  We have also found this to be very effective to support the dynamic learning environment during the course.

The primary aspect of courses by Integralpermanence that make them effective is the commitment to returning the DESIGN to Permaculture Design Courses, through engaged participatory design exercises regularly throughout the course.  In our minds students do not leave competent or confident in applying this beneficial design science by completing 1 or 2 short designs.

We dynamically weave lecture story- telling with hands on practicums and regular design exercises designed to leave students tooled up with the skills and techniques to leave the course fully prepared to apply PC design to all aspects of their lives. Applying the understanding to the surrounding environment as much as possible, and relating to case studies allowing students to synthesize the diverse material effectively. Our courses are designed to cater for Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic learning preferences to enable rapid and effective synthesis of this vital study.
