This project will take place at the Global Ecovillage Network, based in Findhorn, Northern Schotland. We are offering you a structured, experiential learning journey over the course of 12 months, to support the development of a range of skills, knowledge and tools that will lead you to a diverse array of meaningful and sustainable livelihood opportunities, and enable you to become effective and inspiring leaders able to bring about positive change in their communities.
