Community Technology Seminars
Hands-on training to humanitarian workers
These seminars, developed by the Science and Technology Department staff at the U of N, aim to get international field workers quickly engaged in water and agriculture projects to help serve those in need.
Water Technology Seminar
July 12-23, 2010
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. Rus Alit, formerly of World Vision, is a world renowned expert in water technologies for non-electrical pumping systems, water holding systems and sanitation.
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 26 - August 6, 2010
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.

Optional Field Assignment
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.
