We have international support from Estonia where the first Gaia School of Education for Sustainable Development in Europe, -approved and subsidized by its government-, is helping us to create the first Gaia School in Spain.
We also have the support of the international association Gaia Education -www.gaiaeducation.org- which implements development programmes for young people and children in more than 50 countries and with which we are planning the organisation of a DTS course - Education in Ecovillage Design - to train the school team and trainers/educators interested in being trained as sustainable educators.
The Gaia school in Estonia and its government support us by welcoming our pupils over 6 years of age - up to 16, that is, all compulsory schooling - into their country's approved homeschooling programme. With this legal backing, our vision is to begin to develop and continue working to achieve Spanish accreditation.
We want this new model of holistic education, which gives priority to human values and works on the 4 dimensions of sustainability: social, environmental, economic and world view, to serve as inspiration to develop similar programs throughout Europe. In the medium to short term, the vision is to help replicate this model by avoiding the massive rural depopulation caused by, among other factors, the centralization of education and the absence of educational services in rural areas.
