FREE Webinar: Unleashing the Re-Evolution

Gaia University & the International Diploma of Permaculture Design

With Liora Adler

Wednesday, July 25, 6:00 - 7:30 PDT

Presenters & Hosts

Liors Adler

Jay Ma


Description

Have you ever wondered...


* If proven solutions to educational paralysis, climate change and other global crises exist, why, on a personal and societal level, are we not implementing them powerfully and effectively?


* Are our current institutions capable of adapting to become partners in the great turning, or are they an intractable part of the problem?


During this on-line call with Gaia University co-founder and president Liora Adler, we discuss the above questions through a World-Cafe format.


After a time for each group to report on their thinking and discuss the results coming out of the various groups, Liora will give a short talk on how Gaia University addresses these dilemmas and will also answer questions and facilitate further interactive discussion.


We will end the call talking about the new International Diploma of Applied Permaculture Design.


About the International Diploma of Permaculture Design

The International Diploma of Permaculture Design (IDPD)  is a Gaia University International program, launched in February of 2012. Its goal is to train and empower the next generation of action-oriented permaculture designers. Through active permaculture mentoring and digital documentation, the IDPD supports real people and real projects to regenerate ecological, economic, and social landscapes while maintaining a high level of quality assurance.


This action-learning educational program is process-oriented, learner-directed, and focused on designing and implementing real-life permaculture projects. Participants in the program (Diploma Candidates) carry out projects in their communities with the support of advisors, mentors and a global network of permaculture practitioners. Diploma candidates document their work online in a shared ePortfolio format so that it can be reviewed by peers & mentors and, as appropriate, released to the public to showcase permaculture to the world.  Over a minimum of two years and 10 design projects, Diploma candidates learn the skills of professional permaculture design and earn credits towards their Diploma and, if accepted, towards a one-year BSc or MSc degree with Gaia University in Integrative Ecosocial Design.

About Gaia University

Gaia University is a university without walls, a university across borders, an un-institution intent on fostering a zestful, purposeful, global community of thoughtful learners and unlearners focused on ecological regeneration and social justice. We start from the perspective that it is your life, your passions, your projects, your vision – and the rapidly changing contexts in which they are emerging – that best give rise to what you need to learn and how you need to learn it.


Gaia University offers a unique and flexible model for learning and unlearning based on self-directed, project-based pathways. With a minimum of required courses set by us, you devote the major part of your energy towards the design, implementation and documentation of real-world projects. We provide a multidimensional support web of advisers and mentors who assist you in the practical development of your projects and encourage you to develop your capacity to think critically about your work and inner processes.
