Change the World (Norway/Latin America)

change the world

Change the World has taken up the task of working towards real, hands-on processes of change from an integral and holistic perspective, promoting sustainable development from the grass-root. We use permaculture as a tool for the design of integral sustainable systems. This way we foment the establishment of ecovillages, eco-neighborhoods, eco-centers and other kinds of sustainable human settlements capable of being real, inspirational and demonstrative examples, bonding Man and Nature through social-ecology.

 

Ecoartnetwork (international)

ecoartnetwork

We are a network of professionals dedicated to the practices of ecological art. We work across disciplines and within communities to:

  • Focus attention on the web of interrelationships in our environment—to the physical, biological, cultural, political, and historical aspects of ecological systems;
  • Create artworks that employ natural materials, or engage with environmental forces such as wind, water, or sunlight;
  • Reclaim, restore, and remediate damaged environments;
  • Inform the public about ecological dynamics and the environmental problems we face;
  • Re-envision ecological relationships, creatively proposing new possibilities for co-existence, sustainability, and healing.

Our work is created to inspire caring and respect, stimulate dialogue, and encourage the long-term flourishing of the social and natural environments in which we live.
