Tentative dates 15 - 28 July and 29 July - 11 August (two separate modules).

It will be taught by: <br><br><b> Sourabh Phadke </b> from Pune, an architect who has done a lot of earth building and run a lot of participatory courses like this. See his website soarhub.in (has free downloads of cartoons about <a title="* Welcome Eric Fisher, author of Compost Teas for the Organic Grower!"class=api href=https://permies.com/wiki/118431/Eric-Fisher-author-Compost-Teas target=_new> composting </a> toilets, earth building and all kinds of cool stuff) <br><br><b> Sonam Wangchuk </b> from Ladakh, and engineer, inventor and social activist who designed all the passive <a title="thread about creating your own solar station shed"class=api href=https://permies.com/t/52095/Solar-Station-DIY-Solar-Plans target=_new> solar </a> heated earthen buildings at SECMOL as well as several others.

See www.secmol.org <br><br><b> Robert Celaire </b> , a solar designer from France will teach for one week. <br><br> It will be very practical, several hours building with mud every day, plus classes with Wangchuk, Sourabh and/or Robert. SECMOL Campus includes an alternative high school, so you will enjoy dance parties, good fun, <a title="omnivore's dilemma and vegetarianism"class=api href=https://permies.com/t/1453/food-choices/omnivore-dilemma-vegetarianism target=_new> vegetarian </a><a title="local vs. organic"class=api href=https://permies.com/t/3679/farm-income/local-vs-organic target=_new> local </a> food, and conversation with <a title="People and Permaculture by Looby Macnamara"class=api href=https://permies.com/wiki/39118/People-Permaculture-Looby-Macnamara target=_new> people </a> from Ladakh, India, and all over the world. <br><br> Last year we from SECMOL's side were a little late in announcing it, and Sourabh's enthusiastic following filled both modules up within four days, so almost all the participants were Indian. This year we expect a better mix of world participants, Ladakhis, and other Indians. The course is in English. <br><br> Look at www.secmol.org for a general idea of the campus it will be held at. <br> The cost will include about Rs 8000 (under $150) for room and board for each 2-week module, plus the course fee <a title="Did you just should on me?"class=api href=https://permies.com/t/36936/tnk/ target=_new> should </a> be at least twice that but we haven't calculated our costs yet. You'll have to get yourself to the site -- fly to Delhi and then by air (1 hour) or by road (3 days) to Leh, Ladakh, in the very north of India. Best to give yourself 1 or 2 days to acclimatize to this altitude before starting the course (3350m, 11,000 feet). You'll also have to get a visa for India first.</div><div class=clinks><p>Works at a residential alternative high school in the Himalayas <a class=snap_shots href=http://secmol.org target=_blank> SECMOL.org </a> .
