Integrating concepts: when the ecovillages meet design

2. What do those concepts bring to the Learning Process about the Networks?

Compiling the two approaches—Social Permaculture and Design Thinking, — can create a powerful framework that combines sustainability, innovation, and storytelling.
This can enable you to embark on a transformative journey where sustainability, innovation, and powerful storytelling converge. In this immersive experience, we explore the powerful synergy of two dynamic approaches: Social permaculture as a basis, and Design Thinking as a dynamic process with narrative accents.

Social Permaculture as a Basis: Delve into the principles of social permaculture, where sustainable living and community resilience are the foundations. Learn how permaculture's ecological wisdom can be seamlessly applied to human systems, creating harmony between people and the planet.

Design Thinking as a Dynamic Process: Discover the art of Design Thinking—a dynamic, human-centred problem-solving process. Unleash your creativity, empathy, and innovation to tackle complex challenges with precision and agility. Witness how this iterative approach empowers you to co-create meaningful solutions.

For our tools section, we also grasped some of the CLIPS methods. It is because some of the educators engaged in the creation of the OLP have abundant experience with successfully adapting CLIPS-inspired tools. We believe, that if the dedicated and open-minded group can make big steps in their community-building path the method has this “thing that makes it work” - can be positively scaled up and applied to the development of the organization creating the network!

Throughout this exploration, you'll gain practical insights, engage in hands-on exercises, and connect with a global community of change-makers. Whether you're a sustainability enthusiast, a design thinker, or a storyteller at heart, this journey offers a roadmap for sustainable innovation that harmonizes people, planet, and purpose.
