Materials
If you are able to find materials to bring to the workshop, please contact us. We will aim to make 3 or 4 biochar cook stoves and at least 2 rocket stoves. But this totally depends on what materials we collectively manage to find. We will appreciate if you can help us to find materials to build with (often scrap). If you want to take one away with you then you will need to bring your own materials.

You can find a list of typical materials on this link

Miscellaneous
Privacy *
In this day and age of social media, everyone has their preference for how photos are used on social media. We find it useful to share photos of events, but want to respect everyone's privacy. So we ask you to let us know in advance how we can respect your privacy. Typically we will collect photos on a private shared drive (on line or offline) and give people a chance to delete any photo they do not want shared. It is rare for people to take video or audio recordings, but if this happens we will make a policy for that during the course, hence this section refers to photo's only.
Any other questions or comments
A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
