Education

LOES runs a number of educational activities.
The Sustainability Wheel developed by GAIA Education with its 4 dimensions forms the educational background of the eco-community movement. There is much to learn in and from eco-communities and in LØS we have a growing network of educators who together develop and offer courses. A strategy for LOES’ educational activities has been developed, which the education circle is responsible for implementing.
