Sociocracy Management Course (SMC) for organizations, projects and neighborhoods

Sociocracy Management Course 
(SMC)

Urubamba - Sacred Valley - Peru 23 to 27 May 2018


Course taught by Edwin John of Neighborhood Circles 


Neighborhood Organization
and social projects
What is Sociocracy?
A quick answer to the question, What is Sociocracy? is that sociocracy is both:

A social ideal that values equality and the rights of people to decide the conditions under which they live and work 

An effective method of organizing collaborative and productive organizations as associations, businesses, and governments, large and small.
 
Sociocracy It is a governance system designed to protect and apply the values that democracies cherish. Unlike current democracies, it is also a governance structure designed to make sure those values will be applied as equally as possible for everyone.

What is a Sociocracy management Course?

-  Companies and Organizations:
Sociocracy creates more inclusive and efficient organizations and in the process, makes profit-making businesses more profitable and non-profit organizations more effective. Using consent and collaboration as a foundation for decision-making and communications, it builds a strong governance structure that extends from the mailroom to the boardroom and from the client to the funders. Using the new sciences of cybernetics, systems thinking, and complexity theory, it creates organizations that are as powerful, self-organizing, and self-correcting as the natural world.



-   Neighborhood Organization:   
Processes and principles from sociocracy have been used to organize neighborhoods: sociocratic elections, linked circles and grassroots power. The biggest organization of neighborhood circles is currently was organized by Father Edwin John in India: the neighborhood parliaments and the children’s parliaments having hundred thousands of members in linked (or federated) circles, empowering people to take charge of their immediate needs and resources. There are initiatives in other countries to replicate similar structures and to strengthen and revive neighborhood communities and their ability to improve their own living situation. 
        +
This movie coming soon talks about the Children Parliaments: 

This perspective will be explored in the course by Father Edwin John, United Nations recognized leader for his work in organizing more than 100,000 "neighborhood parliaments" in southern India that use sociocracy, is coming to Greenbelt, Maryland on 4/1, on his way to participate in events at the UN.
    This is a inspiring interview Sociocracy For All did with the founder of the neighborhood and children’s parliaments, Edwin John in spring of 2017:   

What kind of knowledge I will acquire?

In these course you will :
Learn fundamental values, principles, processes, structures, and applications of sociocracy;
Participate in a sociocratic election process;
Explore applications relevant to your particular neighborhood and organization; 
Meet and engage with others interested in excellent governance; 
Learn how to organize circles, double link, consents and elections.
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.

The New 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.

Facilitado por Helder Valente y amigos de la Permacultura New School.
Helder estudió y trabajó con pioneros como Bill Mollison, Sepp Holzer, Doug Bullock, Rosemary Morrow, Darren dougherty, Ernst Gotsh y otros, y ahora enseña en todo el mundo.
Se inició en 2009 con la enseñanza de la permacultura a estudiantes en la Universidad Agrícola y desde entonces continúa el aprendizaje y la enseñanza en muchos climas diferentes.
Mientras vivía en la ciudad dedicó 3 años al desarrollo de un proyecto de permacultura urbana en el centro de Lisboa y co-creó el Instituto de 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
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 Diseño en Permacultura (PDC)
El curso es impartido por Helder Valente de New School Permaculture. Helder estudió y trabajó con Bill Mollison, Sepp Holzer, Doug Bullock, Rosemary Morrow, Darren dougherty, Ernst Gotsh entre otros y ahora se dedica a difundir este conocimiento alrededor del mundo.

Bill Mollison speach wen receiving alternative nobel prize

December 9th, 1981
I grew up in a small village in Tasmania. I was born in 1928, but my village might have existed in the 11th century. We didn't have any cars; everything that we needed we made. We made our own boots, our own metal works, we caught fish, grew food, made bread. I didn't know anybody who lived there who had one job, or anything that you could define as a job. Everybody had several jobs.


As a child I lived in a sort of a dream and I didn't really awake until I was about 28. I spent most of my working life in the bush or on the sea. I fished, I hunted for my living. It wasn't until the 1950s that large parts of the system in which I lived were disappearing. First, fish stocks became extinct. Then I noticed the seaweed around the shorelines had gone. Large patches of forest began to die. I hadn't realised until those things were gone that I'd become very fond of them, that I was in love with my country. This is about the last place I want to be; I would like to be sitting in the bush watching wallabies. However, if I don't stand here there will be no bush and no wallabies to watch. The Japanese have come to take away most of our forest. They are using it for newsprint. I notice that you are putting it in your waste‑paper basket. That's what has happened to the life systems I grew up in.



It's always a mark of danger to me when large biological systems start to collapse, when we lose whole stocks of fish, as we've lost whole stocks of herring, and many stocks of sardines, when we lose huge areas of the sea bottom which were productive in scallops and oysters. When we enquire why this happens, it comes back to one thing: the use of energy sources not derived from the biological system.



Dr. Sternglass, who was a pupil of Einstein's, has followed the drift of radioactive dust from Three Mile Island. The newspapers say: 'Nobody died at Three Mile Island'. Dr. Sternglass says that 30,000 children are now dead, died under the cloud drifts of hypothyroidosis, and many thousands are yet to die. Across this country, Russia, Germany, Japan, Canada and the United States, drifts an air system, carrying not only radioactives, but highly corrosive acids: sulphuric acids from the burning of coal, and nitric acids from motor vehicle exhausts.



The snow which we measured in Vermont a few months back had ph values of 1.9 to 2.5, which is much more acid than vinegar, more acid than any biological system can stand. We cannot find in the Northern part of the United States or in Germany waters of ph higher than 4. Fish can't breed in those waters, frogs can't live there, and salamanders are extinct. Forests started to die in 1920, soon after the coal era started. Chestnuts have disappeared on the American continent by 80%, the Beech trees have disappeared. The Oaks are beginning to die throughout America, the pines are dying in Germany (they're losing 80,000 hectares this year) and many of them are now dying in Japan. The Eucalyptus are dying in Australia at 14% per annum. It won't be very long before you won't have any forests to throw away in your garbage cans. It's obvious to simple people like myself who go out on foot to find out what's happening that the Northern hemisphere will not be occupied by man for very many more years while he uses coal, petrol and radioactives. I wonder what happened to make us abandon the sort of life that I grew up in, in which we could sustain our lives indefinitely and in which no great systems died. I don't believe that we lead a better life, that we are any happier than I was and the children in that town still are.



I withdrew from society about 1970 because I had been long in opposition to the systems that I saw were killing us. I decided it was no good persisting with opposition that got you nowhere. I thought for two years. I wanted to return to society but I wanted to come back only with something very positive. I did not want to oppose anything again and waste my time. Somewhere someone had given me Mao‑Tse‑Tung's little red book. I didn't understand it very well, in fact it was very difficult for me to read. But, at one point when he was talking about an attack on the city of Tai Ching, his advice to his army was 'Don't attack Tai Ching: it's too heavily defended. Go around it and Tai Ching will fall.' So I've been going around the things that I think are killing us.



When I came back into our society I came back with a system I call Permaculture, a way in which man can live on the earth. To me we're not any more important a form of life than any other life form. Those of you, very few, who have been alone in forests for a long time, more than five weeks, know that you totally lose identity as a human being. You can't distinguish yourself from the trees, you can't distinguish yourself from any other living thing there. All aboriginal people, all tribal people, have to undergo such a period on their own in the environment. Afterwards, they never again can see themselves as separate: man here and tree there. You become as though you are simply a part of life.



The only safe energy systems are those derived from biological systems. A New Guinea gardener can walk through the gates of his garden taking one unit of energy and hand out seventy. A modern farmer who drives a tractor through the gate of his farm takes a thousand units of energy in and gives one back. Who is the most sophisticated agriculturist? We are getting rid of our soil even faster than we are destroying our atmosphere. For every one of us there is a loss of ten tons of soil a year Nature can only replace one or two tons. We will leave our children an earth in which there is no soil or drinkable water.



We ourselves have always been left out of the energy equations. I'm the only machine I know which can fuel itself: I can make the food upon which I run. Give me a few friends and I can look after myself and many others. This will do me for an alternative energy source. We've never been taught to have confidence in ourselves as our own salvation. All the books you can buy on gardening are books on technique. All the books on strategy are wrong because they are onedimensional. Multi‑dimensional systems will out‑yield one‑dimensional systems hundreds of times. Polycultures will always out‑yield monocultures. The Permaculture system is a safe way of a sustained ecology; it is in itself a safe and sustainable energy system. 



In the days of Carl Linnaeus we were still naming things. For a century or so after Linnaeus we were finding out how they functioned. Today we know some of the principles that make them work but just as we've reached this stage, they have commenced to fall apart. We estimate that of the species that we can see and count, we will lose some 35,000 in the next one and a half decades. All my life we've been at war against nature. I just pray that we lose that war. There are no winners in that war.



A couple of years ago I resigned from a job at the university and threw myself at an advanced age into an uncertain future. I decided to do nothing else but to try to persuade people to build good biological systems. I existed for quite a while by catching fish and pulling potatoes. Then I started to make some money by designing sustainable systems for people, for their own houses and for their villages. Since then I've been able to train 20 people at a time. I have trained 400 young people who are now designing systems throughout the U.S. and Australia. In the coming year I will be training people in Germany and Brazil. We've set up a sort of brotherhood ‑ and sisterhood, because half of us are women. I don't believe women are any better designers than men but I think they know more about living systems.



We must make a very large movement towards a very quiet sort of revolution. We will go on training people until we have saturated all countries. What we try to do is to integrate all things that plants and animals will do with our own lives and our structures. It's possible to design entirely biological systems in which you could live, but we have to start with a place like Stockholm, which is about as abiological as you can get. There are simple things that anybody can do to look after themselves. Every city, for example, can produce its own food.


We are faced with an absolute choice: We can build the sort of cities we are building, continue to accumulate resources and power to run around like blowflies in cars, and be killed before long. Or we can live easily on the earth. It's possible for us to construct biological systems that work, it's well within our capacity. For a fraction of the cost of Swedish armaments Sweden could become an entire system like this. It's up to you, it's entirely up to you. I hope you all go back to work tomorrow and take your wages. Good luck to you.

PTC Permaculture Teachers Course With Helder Valente in Tuscany Italy



New School PTC

Permaculture Teachers Course
31 August - 4 Sep 2016




With  Helder Valente in
Firenze Italy




This will be New School Permaculture most important course of the year and one of the Edge events of the EUPC.

After many years listening to europeans students asking Helder to do a PTC, the time has arrived for people in this continent to have availabke and experiment with New School Permaculture educational ToolBox.

After teaching on more than 30 PDCs and 30 other diverse courses like PSC Permaculture Social courses, Food Forest Courses, Permaculture Water Course, Permaculture soil course Helder have been developing very simple tools to create a good learner, after all to be a good teacher its very usefull to be a better learner.

On that process Helder been focusing most of his energy on learning from poor people in every country he visits and try to understand that openess.

After traveling more than 30 countris and working with people in the deep amazon were rivers have deep oil polution or with quechua people in the Andes and having to face air polution due to mine extractions, there came a powerfull moment of transition.

This transition is the vision of the New School Permaculture and its to provide alternative creative educational thinking and practice by supporting people on having a different perspective on ecosocial design.

To do that we focus on what is essential and fundamental.

On this course you will learn about what are the main patterns in education and how to manage them in a way that the students get empowered.

How to design a lesson and a classroom, how to develop a course, promotion and preparations, hosting and celebration.

How to teach a PDC or any other course of any kind and how to make a living out of it, supporting the needs of nature and of people.

Hope to see you in the north of italy
