Have you ever wondered how to become a permaculture teacher or how you make permaculture your livelihood as well as your way of life? This masterclass is all about doing just this. Check out this 4 part permaculture series where I explore what is permaculture and how to weave it into your life and livelihood.
There are so many ways that you can create your own ‘job’ as a permaculture teacher. I have taught permaculture around the world for over 25 years. It’s always been my ‘real job’. I absolutely love it!
Take a listen to the 50 minute masterclass. I talk about:
- How to become a permaculture teacher. I will share different pathways for you to become a permaculture teacher too.
- Finding a permaculture mentor. I believe that finding mentors is so valuable in developing your permaculture education skills. Learn ways to go about finding a mentor.
- how to build permaculture teaching experience. The best way to become a great teacher is, of course, to teach. I’ll share lots of ideas of how to build your teaching experience.
Permaculture Educators Program
The Permaculture Educators Program is the only place in the world you can do both a Permaculture Design Course and a Permaculture Teacher Certificate online. This is the course I have designed to share with you 25 years of permaculture teaching experience. The program is super comprehensive, flexible and supportive.
I am so keen to encourage people to become excellent permaculture teachers in their own communities. I have created this program so that you can work it around your current commitments, and begin designing and teaching as you study this course.
To register or find out more, please visit the Permaculture Educators Program information page of the Permaculture Education Institute.
