Transport costs and any insurance required remains the responsibility of the participant. If participants require more books and posters for their project, they will be available for sale at a reduced price during the seminar. The following are important aspects of our seminars: 1. Our emphasis on working at the grass-roots, encouraging and supporting local people in developing and extending the skills they already have. 2. We encourage traditional healers and formal health workers such as doctors and nurses to work together. We help them to recognise the positive contribution that each makes, and encourage them to work out practical ways in which they can cooperate. 3. By introducing Artemisia annua, we enable participants to become much more independent and successful in their treatment of malaria, in their families, communities and health centres. Each participant will be given rooted cuttings and be taught how to grow this delicate but extremely valuable plant. 4. It is important that all participants have a commitment both to practising what they learn and to teaching others, for example by conducting a similar seminar in Natural Medicine themselves, at least for a weekend. 5. All participants will work together in practical work and possibly in establishing a garden. They must bring suitable clothes with them for such activities. 6. Participants must attend for the entire programme to qualify for a certificate; to come only on some days is not acceptable. 7. All participants should try to bring a sample of at least one medicinal plant from their region for sharing with others.
