Ecovillage Design Education 2021 EDE Course Outline and Frequently Asked Questions Will participants be able to connect with each other throughout the course?

Yes, this is one of the main aspects of the programme!

Participants will form a community within the group. While we recognise it is not the same as an in person experience, we have been pleasantly surprised by what is possible when we meet regularly with open hearts and share the learning journey together.

Participants will connect with each other and facilitators in the live calls, as well as in group work sessions and on the forum spaces in this learning platform (where you are now).

In addition, you are also welcome to explore Discord to interact with each other.

This is well noted and i think it is doable even if it is not a physical meeting

I was able to create an account for Hylo and look at the map at EDE projects near me. I reached out via a message in the system to say hello and propose we connect.

When I went to the Hylo platform link it would not recognize my email address [email protected]
