“Living Routes Study Abroad in Ecovillages” is proud to partner with Findhorn College and University of Massachusetts Amherst to offer this unique and important program---The Human Challenge of Sustainability at Findhorn.

Living Routes' mission is to provide future leaders with the skills, knowledge, and wisdom needed to repair the earth after 200 years of industrialization; and, to build durable economies
and healthy communities that can thrive into the indefinite future.
Students from all majors and disciplines have participated and thrived on Living Routes programs.

All Living Routes programs contain an integrated Service Learning component. Students receive an academic transcript from UMass Amherst, and academic credit is widely transferable to colleges and universities throughout the U.S. All Living Routes programs are interdisciplinary, with courses from several fields of study comprising each program. Additionally, students, in close collaboration with Findhorn faculty, develop their own learning goals and Learning Plan, which enable students pursue individual academic interests outside the curriculum.

Over 1000 college and university students have benefited from Living Routes personally and academically transformational experiences. They have returned with deep practice-based knowledge, valuable skills, and a renewed passion, commitment, and vision to make a difference in their local communities and in the world.

At Living Routes, it is our firm belief that ecovillages like Findhorn are ideal settlements for experiencing new educational models and methods. In addition to pioneering a myriad of social and ecological tools such as consensus decision making, ecological design, and community-scale renewable energy systems, the Findhorn Community brings these tools together, in the context of a holistic view of the world, within a human-scale community in ways that are greater than the sum of its arts. What emerges in these settings, and what people who live, visit, or study there experience, are new ways of seeing their lives, relationships, paradigms, and "stories" in which these specific tools have meaning -- stories about what it means to be in right relationship with each other, the world, and ourselves.
