Work the Land Winter 2019
The ‘Work The Land’ program is a practical working experience of ecological and sustainable living focused in the process of learning, communication and rewarding work, aimed at benefiting the participant, the wider community and the environment at large. We will provide you the basic practices, tools and techniques that you can take, further improve on and implement in your own life (includes international certificate PDC).
We believe that exploring ecology, sustainability and permaculture is based on action, that is, living a truly sustainable lifestyle first-hand. That is why our farm, located in Modiin – between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem -, is off-grid (only solar panels), our toilets are dry (compost), we run a gray water system and compromise to other ecological practices that close natural cycles.
We believe in the very simple principle: Learn by doing. On average, there are 3 days a week for working and 2 days a week for theoretical lessons and guided work.
Theoretical classes are on Permaculture Design Course (with international certificate) and practical, on Mud Building, Medicinal Herbs, Eco-Construction, Vegan cousin, Materials upcycle, Sustainable Systems and more.
