Carraig Dúlra research farm and Earthcare design consultancy, in collaboration with Comhlámh, are running a workshop that aims to bring Development Education and Permaculture together to develop real solutions to many of the issues we face today. It will run over two evenings 07 & 21 March in the Comhlámh office and two residential days in Carraig Dúlra, 07-08 April. 

This workshop will cover:

  • Solutions to many of the issues we face as a global community
  • Empowerment, Inspiration, Connection and nourishment
  • An exploration of the meanings of ‘development’, ‘sustainable’, ‘regenerative’,’justice’
  • Untangling the complex web of linked problems to find patterns and effective points of intervention
  • Turning problems into opportunities
  • Application of this thinking practically in our own lives, our communities and the wider world
  • An understanding of the basics of Permaculture ethics and principles.

It will be of interest to anyone volunteering in local or international contexts and those involved or interested in social and environmental justice issues. It will also serve as an Introduction to Permaculture course.

They are running the fee on a sliding scale to make the course accessible as possible: Waged €250; Low waged €200; Unwaged €100 and we have limited places available.
