THE AIM OF THIS BOOK IS...

To provide a wide range of practical and comprehensive guidelines, tools,

and techniques for delivering effective Permaculture workshops. It includes

over 200 presentations, creative thinking exercises, and practical hands-on

exercises, which can be used by local facilitators to design and implement

effective courses appropriate to the needs in their area. It has been

designed to work in conjunction with the companion books ‘‘A Resource

Book for Permaculture – Solutions for Sustainable Lifestyles” and

“The Facilitator’s Resource Book for Permaculture Training and

Assessment.”

These workshop techniques include knowledge and practical techniques for

environmental rehabilitation and sustainability, strengthening community

resilience and local economies. The contents of the book are based on concepts

of deep ecology, the inter connectedness of our environment and culture,

and the principles and ethics of sustainable community development.
