Ecovillage Design Education; Training of Trainers
18 January - 7 March 2010
Around the world, in urban and
rural settings, in the North and South, you can find ecovillages. They are usually based on shared values or
spirituality (sometimes called worldview). People come together to build a sustainable
community with a common social
framework. Ecovillages are designed
according to ecological principles to
work with nature, not against it, and to promote a low-impact lifestyle. Ecovillage economics are based on self-reliance and reweaving local economic
connections.

Worlds Come Together at the World Fellowship of Buddhists Conference |
|
In November of last
year (2008), the World Fellowship of Buddhists (WFB) held their 24th
General Conference with the theme of "Buddhist Contributions to Resolving Social
Problems". The event marked a remarkable coming together of diverse worlds.
Firstly, the WFB itself has been viewed over the years as a rather conservative
organization of academics, high-level monks, and well-to-do businessmen. While they
are certainly devout and sincere in their Buddhist faith, outsiders have
wondered what WFB's real contribution to society is. The other major
international Buddhist organization is the International Network of Engaged
Buddhists (INEB), which in many ways offers a mirror image. It is known for its
dynamic network of activists doing meaningful work at the grassroots in many
countries. However, its lack of resources, organizational strength, and the
marginal status of many of its members has prevented it from making a stronger
impact, especially on the Buddhist world.

families are arriving at the IDP camps in Vavuniya They have not eaten for
weeks and are in poor condition.Everyone is trying
their best, but feeding 130,000 people three times a day is a huge
task.”
Most of them only have the clothes on their
backs,” says Thamil Thanabalasundaram, Sewalanka Foundation’s North Regional
Director. “Until last week, the government and NGO sector were catering to
