2. ECOVILLAGE DESIGN COURSES, JULY/AUGUST 2006
The first Ecovillage Design Education Programme is scheduled to commence July 31st and continue through until August 26th. This programme has been certified by GAIA Education as an official programme of the Global Ecovillage Network and is endorsed by UNITAR as an official contribution to the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development 2005-2014. This programme is being offered within a number of Ecovillages internationally, and GAIA are generously contributing to this programme by offering sponsorship
for a couple of places on the course.
The Ecovillage Design Education (EDE) Course will provide a strong theoretical and experiential base in the design and development of ecologically designed settlements in rural or urban settings, providing a valuable opportunity for anyone considering living in or starting up a sustainable settlement. Already, we have participants confirmed from the UK, Myanmar and the USA, and there are still places available if you are thinking about joining the course. As an incentive, we are offering a generous early bird discount for those enrolments received before May 31st too.
