Skills for Community Self Reliance

The Jakkalskloof Permaculture farming community invites you to share and learn about the skills needed for community self reliance. This is a 2 day introductory weekend (could be attended separately), followed by a 6 day workshop on:

The principles, practices and successful models of land based community self-reliance around the world, with relevance to the South African context. This highly participatory course teaches relevant social, economic, land use skills and food security systems necessary for developing and living in a self reliant, resilient intentional community.

Presented and facilitated by:

Robina McCurdy, an international educator in sustainability, from the Tui Community in New Zealand. Robina has worked in South Africa over several years, including pioneering several enduring projects in this country.

Cost: We are adopting the “Freewheeling” example and so registration is being offered on a 3-tier Fee Option basis. This system places complete trust in you, the Registrant, to determine which range you prefer based on your own situation and affordability. The cost is inclusive of food, tuition, and educational materials.

We encourage people who are unable to meet this fee, to seek personal scholarship money from those who could gain benefit (indirectly or directly) from them attending this course.
