Dr TLUD [1] is preparing learning modules of core content for several variations of Dr TLUD Workshops, including Dr TLUD Stove Workshops and Dr TLUD Biochar Workshops. The Dr TLUD Workshops are structured to provide consistent core content with topical variations for the planned 2 – 3 day workshops to be held in Kampala, Uganda (Africa) and the USA states of Oregon, Tennessee, and Massachusetts. In Oregon with Aprovecho and in Tennessee with The Farm, the 2 – 3 day workshops will be integrated into the five-day Stove Camp program. All workshops will include hands-on activities with more focus on doing than on talking.
