INTERNATIONAL COURSE IN PRAGUEThe Training of Teachers has a long tradition in permaculture education and this course is suitable for anyone teaching, or interested in teaching permaculture or other related topics. This is a second international teacher training course in Czech Republic, and first one with Tomas Remiarz, who comes to visit and teach here regularly. Tomas has over 25 years experience of teaching permaculture across Europe. In that time he has learned from and worked with many other great educators such as Rosemary Morrow, Starhawk and Graham Bell. We set up this course with the intention of enabling more people to share permaculture with the world.
Target group
This course is suitable for anyone interested in teaching permaculture and/or other related topics. The aim of the course is to enable people to deliver permaculture courses, however the subjects and techniques covered will also be useful in teaching other subjects. While permaculture topics will be used to practice teaching, this course is NOT a design course, people should ideally have completed a full PDC before (Permaculture Design Course). You will not be taught permaculture on this course – rather you will have a chance to try out teaching it yourself. Each participant will have at least two opportunities for teaching a 20-minute slot, one individually and one in pairs or small groups.
Language
This international course will be taught in English and (if necessary) all taught sessions will be translated into Czech/Slovak. Student contributions will be translated into English when necessary. This means it is suitable for people without knowledge of English, and also it is suitable for not Czech/Slovak speakers.
The method and extent of translation will depend on the situation and the number of people needing it. Micro-teaching sessions delivered in Czech or Slovak will not usually need translating, but feedback from them will. Translation will sometimes slow down presentations and discussions. That is usually a good thing, as it gives everybody more time to gather their thoughts, and encourages people to be succinct!
Teacher of this course is Tomas Remiarz, with assistance of Katka Horackova and Denisa Tomaskova.
