In the face of drought and desertification, well-designed water harvesting earthworks such as swales, ponds, and dams are the most effective way to channel water into productive use. The result can be increased food production, higher groundwater levels, reduced irrigation needs, reforestation and enhanced ecosystem resilience. Yet due to a lack of knowledge, designers, and landowners often build earthworks that are costly, inappropriately sized and sited, or even dangerous. This course will give you the knowledge and confidence to get your earthworks right, first time around. Our mission is to teach you the techniques to construct multi-functional ecologically diverse landscapes, aiding in the regeneration of the biosphere.
Earthworks construction can be a rewarding investment in your property. Enhancing the aesthetic appeal, functionality and value of your landscape are all realistic potential outcomes.This earthworks course is a hands-on course that will help you design and implement water harvesting strategies on your property. You will learn the theory and practice of Permaculture Earthworks – learning site design skills, surveying and directing earthmoving machines to establish dams, swales, terraces, access roads and more.
Some of the uses of a Water Landscape
Creating a water holding, or so called water retention space is of course, all about restoring the hydrological balance of our property. It is the first and most important step to having longterm sustainable yields while regenerating the earth. However, having to hire a machine to get your infrastructure right, doing this course to get the knowledge, can be quite an investment. However, the return on this investment may surprise you, as having a water landscape will and can serve multiple purposes (some of which may even create an extra income).
reverse the desertification process can serve as fire protection. Not only by creating a green zone barrier (lake & wetter area & trees) in the midst of fire, but also as water reservoir for the fire fighters (make sure it is accessible for their truck and let your local fire department know where it is located).prevents flooding and top soil rain erosion ,a water reservoir for irrigation in times of droughts essential for soil restore and thus reforestation is a watering place for animals and creates biodiversity can be cultivated for water gardening can be used as a fishery (for self consumption, for direct sales, for your own restaurant, or as a fishing pond where people pay to rent the canes and fish. Or all combined. )cultivation of e.g. freshwater mussel or crayfish can be used to grow organic products around and sell can be used as part of a schooling program can be used as a swimming area for your own use or for tourism can be used as a recreational space for tourists, especially when bigger. Swimming, snorkling, stand up paddling, row boats, fishing etc.

HELDER VALENTE
Helder studied and worked with pioneers like Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton in Turkey, Doug Bullock in the Amazon, Rosemary Morrow in Austria, Graham Bell in Scotland, Darren dougherty, Ernst Gotcsh, Sepp Holzer in Portugal and many others in countries like Haiti, Canada, Egipt, Finland, Peru, always learning and practicing this sustainable design methods.
While living in the city he dedicated 5 years on developing urban permaculture projects and for the last 5 years traveling and developing permaculture institutes around the world.
It all started in 2009 teaching permaculture to students at the agriculture university and since then learning and teaching in many different climates and getting to know the old ways and new ways of sharing information.
By December 2012 in the Peruvian Amazon working in support to the shipibo indigenous communities Helder created the New School Permaculture and is now developing alternative educational methods.
In 2013 the New School has been presenting at the IPC International Permaculture congress in Cuba and its often invited for lectures at the European Permaculture Congress and many universities worldwide.
TheNew School Permaculture uses creative and inspiring educational tools that enable the students to empower each other in a way that many people have never experienced in their lives before.
The course is presented by creative non formal education methods, that are based on creating a bridge between the right and left side of the brain, so that the analytical and creative abilities of the students get fully stimulated and get the most out of the experience...for many people is the most empowering and inspiring transformative process of their lives...and they carry this with them every were they go....and thats our goal.

results, on this course we learn about the thinking of permaculture, the
way we look at things, so this course has the objective of changing the
way we look at the world, thats why for many people its a life changing
experience.
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is a sustainable design system that provides for human needs while having positive effects on the surrounding environment.
It is based on the ethics of earth care, people care and fair share, and provides practical solutions to the global crises we are currently facing.

Permacultura Portugués.
Así es como empezó todo.
Helder
nunca se detuvo y estos últimos meses pasó su tiempo de trabajo con los
agricultores quechuas en los Andes, el diseño de proyectos en la selva
amazónica y ecoaldeas como Findhorn.
Muy recientemente, fue uno de los presentadores en el IPC Convergencia Internacional de Permacultura en La Habana Cuba
En
esta oportunidad, el PDCse celebra en la hermosa isla subtropical de
Tenerife (Islas Canarias – España), que cuenta con una variedad
increíble de microclimas.

EL PDC o Curso de Diseño en Permacultura fue desarrollado por Bill Mollison,
co-fundador de la Permacultura, para enseñar los principios y
fundamentos del diseño sostenible. Contiene una base teórico-práctica
para iniciarse en el conocimiento y aplicación de la Permacultura en
nuestras actividades cotidianas
Este curso esta centrado en las necesidades del
estudiante. Se presenta a traves de educación creativa no-formal,
metodos basados en crear un puente entre el lado izquierdo y derecho del
cerebro; buscando de esta forma estimular las habilidades creativas y
analiticas del estudiante y obtener lo mejor de la experiencia .
Para alguna gente este puede ser un proceso
transformativo extremadamente empoderador e inspiracional en sus vidas y
podran llevarlo consigo a donde vayan despues…. esta es nuestra misión.
Cualquiera que sean tus planes al futuro, este curso
de Diseño en Permacultura te proporcionara las herramientas y
perspectiva necesarias para encontrar soluciones positivas en la
busqueda de una vida sostenible que busca crear abundancia en todos los
organismos y sistemas naturales.
La certificación del Diseño en Permacultura engloba
el cómo podemos utilizar las herramientas y las tecnologías apropiadas
de hoy en día para dar forma a un mundo regenerativo y más equitativo
para todas las especies.
Permacultura, es algo más que plantar un jardín
o elementos del paisaje de manera aislada. Se trata de un enfoque de un
sistema de diseño sostenible que sea aplicable en todas las actividades
humanas. Un jardín orgánico es sólo uno entre tantos elementos a
considerar para el diseño de un hogar. Permacultura atiende la ubicación
de los elementos del diseño en relación a otros como la vivienda, la
topografía del lugar, el clima, el agua que escurre, la vegetación, los
animales, las capacidades de los usuarios, de dónde viene el dinero para
financiarlo, cuales son los materiales disponibles para construir, etc.
El objetivo del PDC es dar un conocimiento y
entendimiento amplio sobre los temas contenidos en el libro
“Permaculture: A Designers´ Manual” de Bill Mollison así como las
técnicas de agricultura regenerativa, keyline, para ser un diseñador de
sistemas permaculturales, además de promover un cambio de actitud hacia
una cultura regenerativa de baja energía.
Dirigido a todas las personas interesadas en
profundizar sobre el sistema de diseño Permacultura en sus casas,
predios o terrenos, granjas, chacras, fincas, ecoaldeas, comunidades o
simplemente interesados en aprender en cómo llevar una vida en armonía
con la Naturaleza.
Sin importar el nivel de estudios o experiencia
previa.
El curso conduce al internacionalmente reconocido Certificado de
