Celebration
Education
and Networking
"EUPC 2012"
Most
of the work ive been developing since the beginning of my
permaculture river of life is related to education and networking.
Geoff
Lawton once told me that “You start being a permaculture teacher in
the moment you have to explain what it is”
"Permaculture Teachers"
By
developing websites on the internet to communicate and by organizing
events like courses, fairs, meetings, pizza nights, international
events ive been able to apply the permaculture ethic of fair share
and that have brought me many resources.

network can be created in Portugal

Evaluation
Limiting
factors
What
is limiting your yield?
-The
factor that limits mostly the yield is the time to develop and
maintain the structures.
Were
can i open more niches?
-A
better promotion may create a bigger interest.
What
improvements can be done?
-A
good organization of time and tasks
How
to extend limits and comfort zones?

Design
Development
of the Portuguese Permaculture network
The
design ive created for this project operates in the following levels
Internet
Creation
of a online website to promote my achievements
Creation
of my personal you tube channel to teach with videos
Creation
of a national permaculture social network
Demonstration
sites
One
of the best ways to promote permaculture is by teaching courses, by
doing this we extend the number of students and permaculturists and
at the same time we support developing projects and farms.

Tools
Permaculture
Ethics
Care
for earth
This
project in not directly related to landscape regeneration, but it can
create a huge impact since it works directly with education for
permaculturists.
Care
for people
Social
landscapes
In
this project the influence on social landscapes is related with the
sharing of developments made by the permaculture community their
discoveries and inspire others to follow the same path .
Fair
share
The
creation of strong permaculture networks is the ultimate
manifestation of the ethics of fair share.
Permaculture
Principles
The
most frequent principles applied were:
The
problem is the solution
Integrate
rather than segregate
Start
small
Use
local resources
Financial
analysis
Not
a very high financial investment, the biggest part of the investment
is on time.
Quality
of life
-The
quality of life we have tried to achieve, despite the limiting
boundaries, was to have a good flow of relations between
permaculturists.

surprise has been visited by more than 100 000 people and more than
130 countries.

Creation
of a online national permaculture social network
This
social network was created because of the need of having a social
network online only dedicated to permaculture that would operate as a
platform for permaculture promotion in Portugal.
Space
-The
project was design to use as less as possible any fisical space.
Most
of the connections will be developed in a first stage on the internet

We
hope to create an amazing social network and to extend it as much as
possible in Portugal and to the world.
I could have done this diploma in a more professional way, less emotional and more thecnical.
I am not the best analitic person and right at the beggining of this diploma construction i was getting lost with the constant grammar chalenges with the british language, so i decided to make it as simple as possible, using no connection words, just main concepts.
Since i am a big fan of non formal education i decided to create this process sharing what i really am and the inspiration that i have also received from my teachers and fellow permaculturists.
What would i do different?

Final
Diploma observations
By
developing this 10 projects and going thru all of what I have done
this last years to support this network, and presenting it to the
other permaculturists in Portugal and in the world I found that
permaculture is not just the growing of trees or the regeneration of
soil or the water harvesting...ultimatly permaculture is us …
For
me its the resurrection of an old way of looking into reality and
relating to it, dancing with the patterns and with the succession,
for the creation on earth of our most common archetype...the garden
of eden.
If
I would have a god it would be called nature... and the spirit that
makes it more alive would be called...Permaculture.
This
is were I found my spirit, the fire that burns and makes tomorrow be
alive.
