I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this question or not but here it goes.
I am going to be doing several largish infrastructure projects on my property in the next 2 years, I would like to be able to have workshops connected to these projects at my place (if nothing else then to spread the "gospel of permaculture").
I don't want this to just be a ploy for free labor, I want people to actually come away with some useful skills and a better understanding of what permaculture is.
Now here is my question (or group of questions)
~ How should I lay out the day/weekends
~ How much time should be devoted to each part (Intro, how and why, tools, techniques, hands on, etc...)
~ How much written material (handouts) should I provide, and what kinds
~ Should I approach it with a larger global concept (we are doing this to save the environment and make the world and better place and hears how) or the more Simplified approach (I want to do this the save money and you can too)
