Common Circle Education – Beaverton - By: Bell Dillan

Permaculture is a new concept that is being adopted by everyone gradually. It is a green movement that is gently depicting its presence in different parts of the world. Its existence may be traced to the 1970s when 2 Australians published papers that elaborated on how present day agricultural and ecological designs were creating hazardous ecosystems. With an intention to create low energy, sustainable and stable ecosystems, they promoted practices that were nicknamed 'permanent agriculture' or Permaculture.

To be precise, the aim of Permaculture is to construct ecosystems that have the energy and the resources to sustain themselves and grow naturally. Due to this, artificially sustained, carbon-heavy resources would die a natural death over a long period of time. Thus, the Permaculture movement came into existence. The movement swiftly grew, expanded and spread to create new agriculture ideas for communities, individual houses and other social habitats.

Permaculture educates much more than varied ways related to farming. In fact, it is an approach of life that includes nurturing people, placing limits on consumption and learning to respect our mother Earth. It even teaches a number of leadership principles which prove to be of great use to societies. Permaculture aspires to teach people how to reconnect with nature and with the best in themselves and hence provide meaningful leadership.

Many Permaculture schools have come up in and around the country. Common circle education is one of the best institutes. Different schools have different kinds of courses, with a series from short term to long term courses. So, the question is that how do you choose the right school?

The best way to recognize good Permaculture schools is through word of mouth. Students who have studied earlier in common circle education, will have only good things to speak about it, hence it follows naturally that the school is good and that the teachers are competent enough.

Do not be attracted by polished brochures. It's a fact that great skilled teachers may not always be the best when it comes to marketing their skills. So, it depends upon you to check out the quality of teachers before you choose one Permaculture school over the other. It is best if your teachers have any international experience in Permaculture as such a teacher can provide an enriching experience to students.

Just as it is important to know whether the teachers are competent, it is even necessary that you must also find out whether the teachers have sufficient experience. It is even necessary to know if the teacher who has been featured in the brochure will be conducting the course as in some Permaculture schools, teaching assistants are employed and the teachers featured on the brochure hardly deliver any lectures. At last, it is required to talk to the educator personally and gather references of pupils. A reputed school will always be highly recommended by students. If previous students recommend a school, then you need not think further and can enroll yourself directly for the course straight away! If all these points are to be considered, then common circle education has it all..!!
