The Diploma Pathway

The Diploma Pathway is explained in pure permaculture style with things found lying around (see flip chart): the rope is the path which may wind and change; the biscuits and candle which symbolize coming to the accreditation at the end of the diploma. The guild is not on the rope picture. It is the collection of students (us 3). The guild meetings, we decides, will take place every 5 weeks along this rope path. 
On the photo you can see apples representing the 10 designs, the logs are the design support tutorials which you pay extra for (recommended 6 monthly) and where your portfolio is checked. The paper towels represent the 1 on 1 chats with your tutor checking how things are going (included in course fee).  The pencils are technical tutorials and represent learning via courses or chats with elders or anything that skills you up. I loved the visual pathway created as we had each bit explained. I really recommend you contact Hannah to get involved in this diploma process. Call the PAB office or look online.
