PDC Hosted in Indigenous Village
Another First for Permaculture in Taiwian
After successfully hosting the first Permaculture Design Course in Taiwan in
2008, Earth Passengers, an environment group based in Taipei, has forged
ahead breaking new ground. This year¹s PDC was the first to be hosted by and
conducted in an Indigenous Taiwanese village community.
Near the city of Taitung on Taiwans southeast coast, high mountains fall
abruptly to the sea where the indigenous village of Taromak lies nestled in
the foothills. These are lands of the Rukai tribe and a cultural heartland
for the indigenous Taiwanese peoples.
Next PDC with Robyn Francis + Julia Delbrosses, Janelle Schafer, Peter
Hardwick and other guest tutors: January 10-23 at Djanbung Gardens,
followed by Advanced Design Skills+ APT Flexible Learning Orientation
January 25-28 http://permaculture.com.au/central/index.php?option=com_content&view=article
