I would add that it is always best to live a life that cares for people, the planet, and the future, so that one's permaculture teaching work organically grows out of a life lived "well-permaculturally". Maybe that should have been "permaculturally well." I hope the concept is obvious: those that would teach, must also do.

Hi Dana

To answer you question directly I know of no specific opportunity that you
could directly jump into. However I copy this to one of the American
Networks and the European Network where you may or may not find some
response.

If I can offer any suggestion for your future pathways I would suggest that
you do a number of further PDCs from internationally recognised teachers
and also their teacher training courses. Robyn Francis has three courses
this August in Bulgaria and Romania. There are many others as well through
this period leading up to the International Conference in London Sept
8thish.

It is also recognised that before you teach Permaculture you complete a
Diploma in Permaculture Teaching. This would entail 2 yrs of focused
Permaculture work with co-teaching a wide range of Permaculture courses and
subjects. Your recent work with the APW may not be enough for you to
develop a wide and rigourous basis to the expanse of Permaculture. IMO much
much more is needed to give one competent grounding to begin teaching.
However in saying this you may like to begin somewhere in a primary school
and evolve your own capacities. Enviroschools NZ is a good start. Rhode St
Primary School in Hamilton is one of the best I have seen.
