    Ecovillages are communities striving to create cooperative
    lifestyles in harmony with their local environments. From
    appropriate technologies to holistic health; from sustainable
    agriculture to group facilitation, ecovillages are integrating
    solutions within human-scale communities and creating new cultures
    and "stories" in which we can live well - and lightly.  In the
    process, they are developing real-world models of sustainable
    development that make ideal "campuses" where students can learn
    about sustainability while striving to live it.

     Come learn about the growing ecovillage movement worldwide (e.g.,
    Findhorn, Scotland; Auroville, India; Sirius, MA), the possibilities
    and challenges of using these communities as contexts for education
    and social change, and the work of Living Routes, which partners
    with UMass-Amherst to offer study abroad programs based in
    ecovillages worldwide.


*Daniel Greenberg*, Ph.D. has studied and directed community-based 
educational programs for over 20 years. He wrote his thesis on children 
and education in community, and later spent a year at Findhorn in 
Scotland working with children and families there.  He is founder and 
Executive Director of Living Routes, which develops accredited 
ecovillage-based education programs that promote sustainability.  He 
lives at the Sirius Community in Shutesbury, Massachusetts USA with his 
wife, Monique and their two daughters, Simone and Pema.

No charge for this event.
