I suspect the September 3-15 Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course, to be held immediately prior to the Tenth International Permaculture Conference (IPC10) in Amman, Jordan, will be one of the most dynamic PDCs ever taught!
Check out the lineup of teachers:
- Bill Mollison (guest speaker)
- Geoff & Nadia Lawton
- Warren Brush
- Paul Taylor
- Brad Lancaster
There is a wealth of international practical and teaching experience housed in these minds. Read their bio’s and book here.
For those who don’t know, while the 1-day Conference is open to all, the following 4-day Convergence is only open to PDC graduates. If you want to attend this premier permaculture Convergence, and are not already a PDC graduate, taking this course will allow you to do so.
Don’t say I didn’t let you know!
This certainly looks like a great course, and I’m very interested. Would love to see a bit of Jordan while there, too.
Just one query. Will the course focus on arid conditions?
The course will cover all climates and landscape profiles.
Just don’t mention democracy while you’re there!
AMMAN, Jordan — Riot police officers stormed a pro-democracy rally here in the Jordanian capital on Friday, leaving one man dead, injuring scores of other people and dispersing with water cannons a 1,000-person tent camp set up the previous day to resemble Tahrir Square in Cairo.

Hey guys, there seems to be a lot of trouble in Jordan, what’s your opinion, is it safe?
Demonstrations turned violent as government supporters clashed with protesters in the Jordanian capital Friday, hurling stones at each other. Scores of people were injured, according to news reports from Amman.

Hi guys,
As an Amman resident, I can tell you that Jordan is safe. The protests are confined to certain Friday demonstrations for govt reform. Demonstrations have been quite peaceful for months, only recently has there been sporadic violence. Anyway, no one can say with any certainty what’s going to happen; is it going to get worse? I think the media gets very excited about these kinds of things, but comparing what’s happening here to any of the other Arab countries is a big stretch, in my opinion-Jordan remains the most stable country in the region. Don’t let what’s happening in the region dissuade you from coming to Jordan, especially for the IPC10, it is NOT to be missed.
