Education for sustainability, resilience and participatory culture.

Pedagogical team

Those of us involved in this project have extensive experience in Education for Sustainability. We have more than twenty years of experience providing training at the national and international levels, collaborating with associations, government agencies, formal and informal educational institutions, as well as universities.

We offer intellectual, experiential and personal development experiences (Head, Hands and Heart) to generate a greater impact on the participants of our trainings and their circles of influence.

We use collaborative work tools to promote a group and participative culture, stimulating the creation of resilient “hubs” at local and bioregional level, opening also doors to our own “permahub” Can Cel.

The Pedagogical Team of La Casa Integral also nourishes itself by participating in other trainings frequently, thus enriching the training offer with the latest science and information and functioning as a multidisciplinary loudspeaker of this Emerging Culture towards Sustainable Development.

We are increasing the dissemination of examples of best practices, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), and Eco-Social Design through our social media posts, our blog, and both online and in-person training sessions. We use a variety of digital platforms—increasingly opting for the most ethical ones—to reach and include more people (including those with limited mobility due to caring for the elderly, children, animals, or managing projects) and to reduce our transportation-related carbon footprint.

We offer talks on the hydrological cycle at local events and festivals, as well as presentations on the permaculture perspective at gatherings and fairs in the sustainability and regeneration sector. We actively engage with this network of professionals—including both permaculture designers and practitioners of more traditional trades—to learn from one another and share our experiences.

Permaculture is recognized by UNESCO as an educational tool for sustainability (Education for Sustainable Development, 2012) and we offer workshops for all ages in Educational Centers.

Introduction to Permaculture
An Introduction to Permaculture course for those people convinced that they can change their way of being and relating to the world, looking at nature as their teacher, and curious to know more about what Permaculture can offer.
Certified Courses
At La Casa Integral we provide, in classroom and online format, the internationally recognized Permaculture Certificate Course (CDP), as well as the necessary tutorials to obtain the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design.
We toast #SABERES
Our areas of focus are outlined in the #SABERES (for a possible future): Food Sovereignty, Water, Green Building, Energy, Personal and Community Resilience, Education, and Systems Thinking. We honor the fact that permaculture was inspired by the ancestral knowledge of Indigenous communities in Tasmania and around the world.
Training, lectures and workshops
We offer training, awareness-raising, and outreach on permaculture and the holistic design approach it promotes. We present at educational institutions, public and private companies, conferences, and trade shows to empower society to face new challenges. We view the restoration of the hydrological cycle as a key focus in everything we must and can redesign in our human habitats, and we are always delighted to share a presentation on this topic.
