The Ecovillage Design Education (EDE) curriculum was developed by the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) and Gaia Education as a response to this question, in recognition of the immense potential for growth in human consciousness and behaviour. A key question to ask ourselves is: how do we behave in relation to the immense challenges posed by human existence on this planet? In a rapidly transforming world, we as humans are being constantly challenged to grow in both thought and action in this universe.
