From 25th November – 18th December (Mondays to Wednesdays) + 6 months mentoring.

Starting at The Big Fix, 101 Wentworth Street, Blackheath

Followed by various locations in the Blue Mountains

This is a free program for young people aged 16 – 30

Permaculture Design is a powerful tool for creating systems that meet our human needs but also support the ecosystem as a whole. This groundbreaking free program starts with an internationally recognised 72 hour Permaculture Design Course, plus an additional Social Enterprise Design component – that’s why we’re calling it a PDC+.

The course will be commencing on Monday 25 November and running on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for 4 weeks until 18 December. It will run from 9am to 5pm each day, and later on the final Wednesday when we have our presentations and final party. There will be various locations for the course around the Blue Mountains, mostly in Blackheath.

The full dates for the course are:

• November 25 – 27
• December 2 – 4
• December 9 – 11
• December 16 – 18

The course will be followed by six months of optional mentoring to help you develop a social enterprise.
