Synopsis
Little Ohli
This project wasn't in my diploma calendar, because when I have thought my pathway half year ago my life was significantly different than now.
Four months ago I have been introduced to my partner in life and we have started a new adventure as a couple, more than a couple a triple because she wasn't alone. Ohli her 2 and a half year old little son goes wherever she goes.
"Realistically" speaking I never have had to take a father position, nor do I pretend it now but in my personal situation I am sharing my life with this little person and based on my experience and knowledge, I have to get to work if I want to understand and improve my relationship with him.
I have started to think how can I use permaculture to improve my relationship with Ohli, until I have decided that if I wanted to get the most performance, it was best to develop it as one of my diploma projects.
So here I am now in a new awakening of my life that is changing me by completely.

CEAP
Because this is a life design I have decided to use CEAP as the design process, I think it's less static than others as OBREDIMET or SADIMET.
At first I have started to do this project with OBREDIMET process, but after I have changed to CEAP because I have felt that the topic to be discussed is quite complex, so I think that with a simple process like this will be easier to focus my attention on the design and I don't get lost in abstractions. So finally this project may have some influences from OBREDIMET process.
Let's have a look at the CEAP acronym to understand how this project has been processed.

- Collect site information (Same as Survey)
- Evaluate the information (Same as Analysis)
- Apply permaculture principles
- Plan a schedule of implementation (Implementation, maintenance, evaluation and tweaking is just grouping the remaining four steps into one)
