2 years ago Access to education Sierra Leone sent first payments for the school fees of children and now 15 children have finished this time and we want to raise more funds to pay for school fees for them to continue education

People Care in Permaculture Course -12/15 Aug - Portugal



Permaculture People Care, with Helder Valente and
 New School Permaculture.

Monday 12th – Thursday 15th August 2013
http://www.casalinho.com/people-permaculture-aug/

Learning to design and care for ourselves, our communities, and the planet.

This four day course is designed to be useful to anyone who interacts with others. So unless you’re a hermit, that’s YOU!

Perhaps you’ve ever asked one of these questions?

Managing people is so much harder than developing the land. How can I do it better?
Where do I start when trying to create and organise my project?
How do I keep the people involved in my project happy and inspired?
When challenges appear, how do I keep moving forward?
I want to keep inspired and manifest my vision for the future. How can I get support and help others realise their own visions?
Then this course will help you find solutions.

During the course we will explore:

Decision making
Social organisation
Conflict resolution
Power of celebration
Alternative economy
Sustainable community
….. and much more …..!


This course will be taught in English by Helder Valente. Helder is native Portuguese, so Portuguese speakers need not worry about translation for troubling words or ideas.

The lost tribes of the world
