Workshops
Learn by doing,
at the farm
Our courses and events are organized in the middle of Taybeh Organic Farms, in Wadi Rajeb, Ajloun, overlooking the Jordan Valley. All activities are held outdoors for a real experience merged in nature, between the palms, the orange and lemons orchards.
The curriculum is both theoretical and practical with a lot of hands-on experience, walk and talk and site observations in a participatory learning environment.
All our activities are designed to give participants a unique and enriching experience. We offer a wide range of subjects so people get the knowledge and the practical skills to become confident enough to start their own project and apply regenerative systems to different aspects of their life.
