This one week urban residential short course ran for the first time in October, with a wonderful group of participants and facilitators. In the wake of overwhelming feedback from those involved, and many others who wanted to be, we are happy to announce that we will be offering the course again in 2014. Sustainability awareness & rhetoric is everywhere these days, but in many ways we continue to worsen the problems we are trying to fix. This course creates the space, engages the experts, & introduces the tools for us to examine the most common misconceptions & pitfalls of sustainability, & develop a deeper understanding of how we can achieve truly sustainable societies. All backgrounds & levels of experience are welcome. $1,050 (inc. all accommodation, food, tours & materials); $950 early bird registration to be announced soon.
