Explore the question, “What is sustainable community?” in a 20-year-old ecologically-focused community in Oregon. The course examines the question through 4 aspects of life: social, economic, ecological, & worldview, corresponding with the Global Ecovillage Network’s Ecovillage Design Education curriculum. The course covers how to join, start, and maintain ecovillages and other communities. The program’s exploration of all of these topics is informed deeply by permaculture. For a month-long course on permaculture and other aspects of sustainable living, as well as a longer community experience, students can take Creating Community in conjunction with Lost Valley’s fall permaculture course, Permaculture & Community: Permaculture Design Course & Ecovillage Living Practicum (10/6 – 11/3).
