Become a sustainability designer

Gaia Education, an international consortium of experienced ecovillage educators launched in 2005, and the Open University of Catalunya have launched a virtual course on Design for Sustainability

The virtual Gaia Education Design for Sustainability programme aims to create a pool of competent, informed, practicing Sustainability Designers. These graduates will be introduced to the tools, skills, and knowledge necessary to participate in any sustainable community / organization development context. The programme is application-oriented and solution-based and is meant to respond to the needs of real people in real circumstances in a rapidly changing world.

The course is based on the four core pillars of the Ecovillage Design Curriculum: the social, worldview, ecological and economic dimensions of sustainability. The curriculum draws on the experience and expertise developed in a network of some of the most successful ecovillages and community projects across the Earth.
