What we do

Gaia Education conducts its activities through three learning streams:

•  Face-to-face certified EDE programmes in partnership with over 60 institutions worldwide

•  E-Learning Design for Sustainability global classrooms in English, Spanish and Portuguese

•  Project-based Learning activities in the Global South, supporting the implementation of the Post-2015 development agenda

Who we work with

Gaia Education works with individuals from a multitude of fields of service: social and health workers, urban permaculturists, educators and head-teachers, ethical entrepreneurs, spatial planners, architects and eco-building professionals, economists and philosophers, environmentalists and food growers. Some are at the center of municipal decisions, some at the cutting edge of urban resilience. Some embedded in community living, while others holding the memory of traditional ways of life.
