Re-skilling for a post-carbon future

The Maleny Neighbourhood Centre has expressed interest in teaming up with us to run 're-skilling' workshops, teaching skills on simple resilient living. However, these skills are hard to come by in our industrialised consumer culture. Can you help? If you can spare some time to teach a short class on some simple technology or skill, we want to hear from you. There's even a chance you'll get paid!

Here's some examples of subjects we'd love to have someone teach. Do you know someone who could teach any of these? Dob 'em in!
