In building the Permaculture International Research Network (PIRN) we are trying to provide a platform which fosters creativity, maximises intrinsic motivation and sharing, facilitates online and offline networking and builds a community based on trust. In this workshop I would like to focus on maximising intrinsic motivation. 

Opening with a brainstorming session on motivation, there will then be a short presentation on the basic principles of intrinsic motivation before participants break off into groups to put together some ideas on how participants think that they could maximise their intrinsic motivation to take part.
