Advanced Permaculture Training for Permaculture Activists & Community Development Workers
This course develops awareness and skills for working in areas of need, and with people from other cultural backgrounds in both a first-world context and in overseas development work. The course is presented in two complementary parts. The information and skills from both parts of this course will empower Permaculture activists to work effectively with communities to build resilience to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world of climate change and economic instability. Both courses assume the prior knowledge of the PDC or working knowledge of Permaculture.

Winter School PDC - Register Now
The annual Winter School PDC at Djanbung Gardens June 28-July 11 will feature a dynamic young team of permaculture teachers under the direction of Janelle Schafer, Erda Institute administrator and head teacher. Robyn Francis will away on her teaching and speaking tour in the USA from late May to late August, and is pleased that the Erda Institute Bioregional Campus faculty is ready to continue the training programs at Djanbung Gardens in her absence. "I have complete confidence in the calibre of this dynamic team. I have been working with Erda Institute in recent years towards building the network of trainers and guest tutors to ensure the programs here can continue in their own right so I can meet the demand for my knowledge and experience elsewhere in Australia and overseas. The team will bring fresh energy and drive into the course and I am proud to support and make 'space' for the new generation of permaculture trainers"
Special guest key tutor will be Lisa Talbot from New Zealand, supported by local teachers and guest tutors including Michelle Taylor, Peter Hardwick, Robert Rosen and Guy Stewart. You can meet the Erda Institute faculty here.
