Eco-Village Mission Statement
A Living Harmony
We are promoting a way of life for people of different cultures
to live in harmony with Nature on physical and spiritual levels,
for today and for the future.
We
believe that eco-sustainability of the world will provide
a foundation for the self-sustainability of individual
life; Nature feeds our body, culture sustains our soul.
Economic activities distribute the resources of nature and
culture which promote individual sustainability.
Self-sustainability, of body and of soul, is an essential
element of human life. Without it, life is not complete.
Lifelong learning feeds our soul and sustains our
ability to work: it is the foundation stone on which
self-sustainability is built.
World harmony can only be achieved by developing a worldwide
respect for the diversity of people and their cultures.
Keeping a careful balance between economic development and its
environmental impact is the key for the sustainability of
nature.
Therefore, lifelong learning, respect for others, and care of
the environment are the three key values in the development of
a living harmony: sustaining body and soul, and the world
in which we live.
Our work aims at presenting a workshop model that can be
used as an educational tool to reflect the philosophical aspects
of Eco-sustainability. This and other TROPECOSE programs
effectively complement the efforts to use vacation as a means
for developing a new generation of citizens with a life-long
commitment to sustainability in their communities and beyond
