Our Courses
We support lifelong learning by organising conferences, seminars and training sessions designed to share knowledge, build skills and encourage meaningful exchange. For those interested in attending specialised symposiums and forums abroad, we also arrange study trips to events around the world.
Training events organised by Depu in China have explored a wide range of subjects, from organic and biodynamic agriculture to nature-based pedagogy. Our seminars have also focused on more specialised technical themes, including soil restoration methods and practical guidance on preparing and using biodynamic preparations.
If you would like to learn more about a training event, or if you are interested in having us organise one, please feel free to get in touch.
Below you will find a selection of courses we have organised in the past. Do visit this page regularly to stay informed about upcoming training opportunities.
