What is a PDC?

 

​A PDC is a 72-hour Permaculture Design Certificate Course (PDC) as taught by the founders of Permaculture – Bill Mollison and David Holmgren.

 

The full Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is a 72- hour intensive program.  This course involves study modules supported by practical exercises, photos, fieldwork, and videos. Upon successful completion of the Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course, graduates receive the official, internationally-recognized Permaculture Design Certificate.
Many people think Permaculture are techniques for gardening and agriculture. However, Permaculture is much broader. it is a philosophy for a systemic approach which aims to minimize work and energy by maximizing production to create resilient and regenerative ecosystems. It's design methods is applicable to all systems which desire is to become  more resilient and respectful to the environment.

Marta Muñoz Marti
Permaculture Designer, Facilitator, Human rights defender

I have been always passionate about human rights, and I chose to study and work in this field because they are common to all and are the basis for respectful and fair coexistence. In search of new horizons, I have discovered permaculture last year. I followed the PDC course in Brussels and it changed my understanding of the world. Not only did it allow me to link and better understand my basic knowledge of ecology but it also taught me a new philosophy of life that is much more coherent and natural. I would just love to help other people feel the same way, because as long as there is education, there is hope for change.
