 Ecovillage Design Education;
Training of Trainers
5 January – 6 February 2009 
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.
