An Eco-hood Does Good!

The Four Pillars

• To teach environmental awareness and encourage Earth stewardship.

• ‍To improve interpersonal relations and foster a stronger, more enduring sense of selfhood and community.

• To introduce the idea of planning, designing, and actualizing a village community in an urban setting.

• To engage students in hands-on building activities to encourage imagination, ideation and possibility thinking.

Largely out of recycled materials, young people design an ecologically vibrant community model based on their collective vision. They are encouraged to dream up something wonderful……...a place of safety, beauty, friendship and support for all would-be residents.

Participants build community in more ways than one!

Amakiasu’s eco project with students in Yene, Senegal. This project is currently being considered for real life application in the village for which it was designed.

Coming soon………..An online eco-hood course for teachers, home school parents, and youth leaders: The Build-it-Better Eco Course!

Now you can learn the nuts and bolts of offering this activity-rich, interdisciplinary project to your students! You’ll get live demos, clear dedicated modules, private Facebook community access, and online group support with Amakiasu, the founder and director of EarthShine.
