Editing Partnerism in SEEDS

'''Partnerism in SEEDS''' is a program to support [[Partnerism]] in [[SEEDS]] through the [[SEEDS Changemakers Program]]. Partnerism is an economic and cultural system based on nature and [[Partnerism#Defining_caring|caring]], as an alternative to domination culture. Unlike Capitalism and Socialism, Partnerism recognizes the economic value of care and adequately rewards it in both the market and non-market sectors.

Those who complete the course will be recognized in the SEEDS community, and as a result be given remunerated opportunities to edify and train others. The course can be completed in a day.
