Convergence Timetable of Lectures, Workshops, etc.
(September 19-22, 2011)
The IPC 10 Convergence, held at Captain's Camp in the beautiful and famous Wadi Rum desert region in the south of Jordan, will be four days of workshops, lectures, discussion and networking by permaculturists from all over the world. It's a unique opportunity for permaculturists to share practical information, skills and inspiration, and to build collaboration for the advancement of permaculture take-up everywhere.
Details on speakers and workshops for the post-Conference Convergence will be added to the schedules below as the months go by prior to commencement of the event.
Note: The Convergence is only open to people who've completed a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course.
Do you have something to share? The IPC 10 Convergence is wholly an international permaculture community event, so the IPC 10 organisers are requesting proposals from permaculture lecturers and workshop facilitators. All people who would like to present at the convergence are requested to send their proposal to info@ipcon.org, stating the topic of the lecture and/or workshop and/or demonstration, and provide evidence of their fitness to do so. The timetable is broken into workshop/lecture blocks of 50 minutes each. If you require a longer period for your presentation, feel free to request this.
Note: Please do not send suggestions about 'other' people you'd like to see present at the convergence. Rather, contact the proposed presenter yourself, to suggest they contact the IPC organisers with their proposal themselves.
