Skillshare Days: A Succession Plan for Our Permaculture Education
In 2023, Cincinnati Permaculture Institute launched a pilot program for permaculture implementations, in response to our community’s voiced desire for continuing education and hands-on learning opportunities above and beyond our full Permaculture Design Certification courses. At Skillshare Days, we work with CPI graduates and teachers to host specialized hands-on learning and practice with various farm & homesteading skills at different sites across the Tri-State. Topics and projects vary by site; examples include plant selection, irrigation, earthworks, urban farming, and using hand tools. The program is also designed to showcase student design projects that are developed in our yearlong PDC class. The program continues to evolve as we pilot it - read more about its inception here.
How to Sign UP
Skillshare Days are envisioned as an “intermediate to advanced” level of our permaculture education. If you have not taken a permaculture design course, you may still participate; however, these are not intended as introductory classes or substitutes for a PDC.
Host a SKILLSHARE
If you have a design or project for your site that is at the “ready to install” stage, or would like to make a site available for a student design, we’d love to talk to you about turning it into an educational opportunity for our community.
