it would be great if these get included in one of those great linksites
on the web, for example at http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/ Some of the sites recomended there for Mexico, Spain or Latinamerica are
hopelessly out of date
On our linkpage at http://www.tierramor.org, we have also included other
spanish and international sites that we find useful - we accept
suggestions to make this one more complete
There is a collection of Foto-documentations from several courses
facilitated and/or organized by tierramor.org (often in colaboration
with other mexican initiatives) that you can revise

We have published an extensive foto-documentation of our most recent
one-week Permaculture Fundamentals course, that ended last saturday -
check out
The outline of the course included a vast temario, spanish speakers will
find the daily progam in the documentation
here just some exerpts
History, conceptual evolution of PC
Permaculture ethics & design principles
Soils (central theme of this course) - compost, wormcompost, soil
fertiliy, carbon farming, sheet mulch, green manures....
Water capture, filters, ferrocement cisterns, swale & keyline systems,
design for water...
Future Scenarios and the transision concept, urban stategies,
networking, creating community....
eco-construction: Cob, adobe, light clay etc., construction design,
materials, tecniques...
food production: family gardens, biointensive vs forest gardening,
integrated pest management, fruit trees, organic campesino agriculture
introduction to integrated design, design exercise on different smaller
sites
was intented as a somwhat "first week" of a design course, though I
think we got way into the second week of the traditional PCD, due to the
intensity of the program (10h/ day). Anyway, regarding this last issue I
have some thoughts to share with the large PC community, hopefully I´ll
get these somewhat destilled soon-
kind regards
