Intro to Gaia Education’s Framework for Sustainability

REGISTER NOW

Join Giovani Ciarlo of Gaia Education to learn about the four dimensional aspects of their sustainability mandala – economic, ecological, social and worldview – and how they’re interlinked. Discover how it can help anyone living in a community to create an equal, functional, net zero community, whether it’s a rural, urban or suburban setting.

Giovanni Ciarlo, who has a long background in starting up an ecovillage in Mexico, will share how he uses the 4 dimensional framework to overcome conflicts and issues. And how you can facilitate conversations in your community about holistic sustainability, embracing a whole systems approach.

This is an introduction to the Gaia Education Design for Sustainability (GEDS) course.

During this session you will learn:

• What is the four dimensional framework
• How the four aspects – – social. ecological, economic and worldview – are interlinked
• Examples of how the framework can be used in practise, and to facilitate conversations in your community
• How a whole systems approach can be applied to any setting: urban, rural, suburban, ecovillage etc.
