The founding of Gaia University International has led to
increased US connection with the Permaculture Worknet in the United Kingdom.

Dancing Green's Dawn Shiner is collaborating with Heathcote Community's Karen Stupski in
setting in place a two-year Permaculture Design Diploma program.

This two-year program has the option of being independent of Gaia University
or being the first two years of a BSc in Integrated Eco-Social Design.

Within these two years,
associates will be supported in completing ten (10) permaculture designs & reports
demonstrating various scales, completeness, and levels of implementation.

For those looking at right-livelihood through education:
There will be particular focus on training workshop and course guides in the coming years for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center of Gaia University International.
The pre-requisite is Apprentice Certification through a Permaculture Design Course.
