“Training Permaculture Teachers” Course with Focus on Refugees and Migrants

Training Permaculture Teachers (TPT) is an international teachers training course offered in English and organised by 12P Permaculture Design. The course will be available to PDC holders from any country.

The invasion of the Ukraine and the hundreds of thousands of refugees seeking asylum in the European Union has focused attention on the issue of mass migration. There is now a much greater opportunity to support displaced people by teaching and training refugees to teach and train each other. As the Permaculture for Refugees international work group states, “Our aim is to support refugees in transforming the places where they live —be these refugee camps or communities in receivng countries — into productive permaculture-designed communities, and ulitmately to equip them for integration into society for the collective benefit of all.”

Join us for an intensive training that will provide you with an invaluable toolkit to use in the classroom, as well as life in general. The internationally-renowned teacher Rosemary (Rowe) Morrow’s TPT course draws on her decades of permaculture teaching experience. Whether you are already a teacher, or thinking of becoming one, the TPT training makes teaching a transformative and fun exchange. Classrooms (indoor and outdoor) will never be the same again!

While this course has a specific focus in how to facilitate permaculture education with refugees and migrants, the TPT is designed for anyone who wants to teach permaculture based on Rosemary’s participatory learning methods.
