Join Liora Adler & Andrew Langford on Monday, Oct 8, 7-9:30pm, with
a
talk about Gaia University and action based learning.
Founded in 2004 Gaia University is a revolutionary university without
walls, a university across borders that focuses on ecological
regeneration and social justice while offering students Bachelors and
Masters degrees.
Action learning is central to Gaia University methodology with an
approach that emphasizes a balanced flow of action and theory –
learning
by doing merged with learning by thinking.
Gaia University offers a unique and flexible model based on
self-directed, project-based pathways. With a minimum of required
courses, students devote the major part of their energy towards the
design, implementation and documentation of real-world projects, with a
support web of advisers and mentors who assist in the practical
development of projects and encourage students to develop the
capacity to think critically about their work and inner
processes.
Liora Adler & Andrew Langford are co-founders and co-presidents of
Gaia University

Liora has over thirty years experience with ecovillages and the
establishment of global networks. In 1982 Liora co-founded Huehuecoyotl
Ecovillage in highlands of central Mexico. Liora was lead partner
of the spectacular Caravan Arcoiris de la Paz theatre that toured South
America from 1996- 2009 carrying messages of peace and permaculture.
Liora has served on the Board of the Global Ecovillage Network, as a UN
representative, and is a Board Member of The Global Village Institute.
She holds an Master of Education with a major in counseling
psychology.
Andrew holds a Masters degree in Organization Analysis and Development
and a postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies but believes his most
potent education takes place outside of conventional institutions.
Andrew initiated permaculture teaching in the UK starting in 1985 and,
together with others in the Permaculture Association of Britain, helped
train more than 3,000 permaculture designers. He is a principal
architect
of the Permaculture Diploma WorkNet from the UK.
The evening talk
takes place on Monday Oct 8, 7pm-9:30pm, Ayni Galley, 216 State
St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Admission $5, no reservations required.
