Water Technology Seminar
July 13-24, 2009

Responding to the global water crisis requires understanding, wisdom, and committed action by individuals and groups worldwide. This seminar is designed to examine the characteristics of water supplies available to communities, demonstrate how to provide, pump, and purify water economically.

This Seminar will be particularly useful to those intending to teach the subject matter in the future, as power point presentations, course documentation and video footage will be available for students to take away on CD. It will however also be suitable for those intending to use the acquired skills in the field.

Sustainable Agriculture Seminar
July 27 - August 7, 2008 

Rather than training developing nations in western agricultural practices (which are designed more to produce money than food), we train people in designing and developing low-maintenance "food forests" which tap into God's design in creation. This seminar also covers agricultural design and implementation, water management, plant propagation, soil care, pest management and resource stewardship. 

Seminar Cost

The tuition-only cost for those who have their own housing is $150. Tuition, Board and Room is $668 for dorm style and $788 for hotel style (two to a room). Room, board and tuition for developing nations students is $368.

An overseas field assignment will take place at the end of the last seminar. This 1 to 3-week outreach is perhaps the most exciting and important phase of the series. Students from both the Sustainable Agriculture and Water Technology seminars are eligible to participate.  We will assess the needs of the community, and work with them to build appropriate solutions to their food/ water/ shelter problems. Components of the students projects throughout the seminar series will be selected and built into the field design. Precise dates, cost and location are yet to be determined.
