Do you ever say to yourself, "Okay, I get it! Things have to change. But where are all the solutions?" Do you really want to help create a more sustainable future? If so, then we invite you to literally bring your education to life by studying with Living Routes in ecovillages around the world. Ecovillages are communities striving to create cooperative lifestyles in harmony with their local environments. They are groups of people developing social and ecological tools such as consensus decision making, ecological design, green building, community-scale renewable energy systems, and organic farming - and offering positive visions and alternatives for humanity and the planet. Ecovillages are not utopias, but they're trying. In the process, they make ideal "campuses" for students to "walk their talk" and immerse themselves in both academic and experiential learning about sustainability. Why study in a classroom when you can earn college credit while you: Identify rare medicinal plants in a rainforest in southern India Help regenerate the Caledonian forest in northern Scotland Garden organically, watched by wallabies, in subtropical Australia Learn about sustainable village development in rural Senegal Build an adobe or ferrocement house in tropical Brazil Become a skilled consensus facilitator and group leader in Mexico Design ecological homesteads/landscapes in western Massachusetts These are just a few of the many real-life learning opportunities available through Living Routes. Living Routes works with a number of universities (UMass-Amherst, University of New Hampshire, and Pacific Lutheran University) to offer credit for all of its semester, summer, and January-Term programs that can be transferred back to your home college or university. So, if you really want to gain skills and real-world experiences to help heal our planet and build sustainable communities, please check out our current programs below and feel free to contact us with any questions or to request an application. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you. -- Vanessa Paulman Science Outreach Coordinator Center for Science Exploration Hampshire College phone: (413) 559-5792 fax: (413) 559-5438 Adele Simmons Hall #132 http://ScienceExploration.hampshire.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ecovillages are >cutting-edge ecological communities that are ideal 'campuses' for >sustainability and social justice education. They are not utopias, >but these socially diverse and ecological communities are living >laboratories for a sustainable way of life.

CREATING CHANGE AND LIVING SUSTAINABLY AT FINDHORN > The program at Findhorn is very strong on exploring >interpersonal dynamics and facilitating change. The whole village at >Findhorn is evolving a decentralisation of power and authority, from >the original Foundation to smaller groups like the College and the >Community Assocation. They have much experience of how that process >works, and the joys and pitfalls of becoming a new organization that >has to deal with friends and community members on both a personal >and a business level. > >The community is full of individuals who have started their own >organizations, and also people who have started new journals. >Everyone here - all the organizations - have societal change as >their aim, though they may approach it in very different ways - >through food, recycling, spirituality, ecotech and building, >conservation projects and cooperative business. > >In the Psychology:Group Dynamics course (one of the four in the >program), we look at the psychology of change in the individual and >how that relates to change in groups and then in society. There is >examination of the role of constructive conflict in change. This and >the other courses are well-integrated to provide students with the >maximum exposure to ideas of what is possible and how new ideas can >become reality. > >Here's what recent alumni got out of studying abroad in Findhorn: > >"I've learned more outside of the classroom than I've learned in all >of my university so far. Much more!" > >"I've learned a lot about what it means to give 100%. Effort and >willingness are contagious!

I also plan to take a permaculture course and i'm >busy with lectures and workshops and presentations that are all >either actively useful in creating the being i want to be in this >life or just interesting pieces oflife to learn from. Oh, and I'm >becoming active in my school's fair trade coffee co-op and i'm >hoping to help in our community garden here but that wont start for >a bit--I'm also working on a proposal for my thesis which will >hopefully be rooted in the ecovillage movement because i want my >school, people here, to be more aware of the inspiring realities >that truly do exist on this planet." >"I have been having an incredible time in the woods, as i'm >beginning to uncover the mystery that they hold.

I'm learning a lot." >"I'm trying to do an independent study in alternative education for >children where I learn about lots of alternative educational >settings.

I'm taking a class >called Gandhi's critique of modernity and a class called third world >development: grassroots perspectives, which both feel very relevant >and are allowing me to concretize some knowledge that I know is >important for me to have. There's more of course. Wonderful yoga, >wonderful children... I miss our community from the program. The >amazing support. The amazing depth of exploration.
