Online Courses for Hands on Impact

In order to give you the most hands-on and practical Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) in Canada, your PDC starts with an online component for each of the chapters of the curriculum. To prepare everyone for a more in-depth learning experience and more hands-on workshops and activities at L’Alpakiade, we’re making sure that you arrive at the farm confident and with some technical and basic knowledge of permaculture.

Online chapters will be released on this platform on a weekly basis; you will be notified by email at every release, but take your time to go through them. This online resource will be available to you before, during and after your PDC course.

This online PDC introductory and preparatory course is designed to facilitate and ease you into the basic terminology and learning objectives of each chapter; so take notes, write down your questions, explore the recommended (and mandatory!) readings and resources whenever you get a chance, prior to the start of the course

Water has sometimes a negative feature on the soil, erosion. Erosion can create landslides dangerous for humans, animals and eco systems.
but also a lot of other damages. See how to reduce and prevent erosion from doing harm.

Do you keep hearing the word "permaculture," but not sure what it's all about?
In this introductory lecture, P3Permaculture founder Graham Calder will walk you through the basics of permaculture, philosophy, and design.
This presentation covers the ethical principles that describe permaculture, provides an overview of some of the techniques used in permaculture design, and takes participants on a visual journey through permaculture sites around the world!
From climate change to austerity, the challenges we face can seem overwhelming. But, by mimicking nature to heal broken systems (both ecological and social), permaculture provides a variety of approaches for positive change!
Come prepared with any questions you may have! The event link will be sent to you after you register.
