Understanding Learning Styles

In this workshop, we explore how understanding learning styles (Activist, Reflector, Theorist, Pragmatist) and communication preferences—aligned with the 4 elements (Earth, Water, Air, Fire)—can improve teamwork and efficiency in farm settings.
By recognizing how team members learn, communicate, and collaborate, we can:

• Foster better understanding and reduce conflicts.
• Ensure tasks are fairly distributed based on strengths.
• Build a balanced and inclusive work environment.

Through interactive activities, participants will gain tools to create a harmonious and productive team—rooted in the permaculture ethics of Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share.
