is happy to announce a 3 week programme on:
Sustainable Cities and Communities
20th January to 7th February 2014

This programme has been designed as a great opportunity for those who wish to do their bit to green their cities... but are looking for some guidelines, some ideas, some inspiration...
You will meet many pioneers at green enterprises from Bangalore, as well as have an enjoyable time learning with co-travellers!
What can we in cities do about the inter-connected and escalating crises of water, waste, energy, building, transport and lifestyle in? What positive examples of living sustainably do we have in cities today? Who are the pioneers we can learn from?
These are the questions that we seek answers for during this programme and hope to provide participants a mix of perspectives, hands-on-work, field trips and interaction with experts to support our journey of living sustainably in our communities / cities.
