was a fabulous day out, like a mini convergence and a chance to meet up with Permaculture friends old and new. It was held at Steward Wood, the low impact ecological community where he lives.
Peter had worked fantastically hard to make it a bright, visually interesting event, with all his designs on colourful boards around the new longhouse build. Unfortunately none of the photo's I took came out very well ( a combination of low light levels and shaky hands) so I'm hoping the fair shares principle will kick in and someone with steadier hands will donate me some. We were treated to a couple of his songs (Grass Roots Sustainable Futures and Living in Circles, available here), an interactive play in the middle, and dinner and a party to follow.
The diploma work is assessed against two essential criteria and four complimentary criteria.
The essentials are:
design skills – has the candidate used a variety of design methodologies
including both analytical and more creative strategies and
are these appropriate to the designs presented?
theory in action – how well has the candidate applied permaculture
principles and theory to make their own life more
sustainable?
Complimentary criteria:
dissemination – what have they done to increase the availability of good PC information to the wider community
community building – in what ways have they contributed to local,
national or international communities
symmetry – how have they fed back into the systems that helped to support them, in particular the permaculture academy and network
evaluation and costings – have they given attention to evaluating and
and costing their work
