These mindmaps link with the 21 cards and can be used as teaching notes. I have used them for teaching the first two days of a PDC as well as in a 2-day ‘Introduction to Permaculture Fundamentals’ course. I am making them free to download to make it easier for PDC graduates who want to get into teaching permaculture, as well as for the general public who want to learn more about permaculture. Along with the card set these are sufficient class notes for two days (12 hours) of teaching. As these contain materials from a number of Permaculture texts they cannot be reproduced for sale but are for educational purposes only. People are free to alter them for local languages or for specific groups but please give credit if you do use them in a course. They are in Word format so they can be altered easily but I would recomend saving as a pdf before printing.
NOTE: when I opened these using the Word on my tablet they were scrambled. They should be fine opened in a desktop version of Word. There is also a pdf set available that should open ok in tablets.
