ANOTHER KIND OF SCHOOL
Community Learning
Learn to live sustainably and fight poverty, as part of a like-minded community. Studies, work-shops and investigations about areas like eco-literacy, colonialism and Africa’s history, the gap between the Global North and the Global South, economy and globalisation, practical skills training such as organic farming…and much more.
Sustainability Training
CICD is a community of practice when it comes to sustainable living. In our walled garden we produce a lot of the vegetables that we eat. You will get hands-on training in organic farming and experience in how to cook plant-based food.
Volunteer for development
Together with 2 team mates, you join forces with people at one of Humana People to People’s development projects in Malawi, Zambia or Mozambique. You support in areas such as education of children or adults, farming and environmental protection, water projects and health campaigns.
TESTIMONIALS
“Besides the studies, what really made a big impact on me was the practical skills that I have learned during my time at CICD. These skills also helped me become more self-reliant person.
We were providing access to fresh drinking water to thousands of people and doing community mobilisation, I have done many things I never expected to do”
“I did the Climate Activist programme. I studied different environmental topics that included lectures, articles, documentaries, an investigation, and practical actions in the garden. For example, we prepared the permaculture beds in the greenhouse, a pedagogical way to practice and “learn by doing” about sustainable alternatives. Also, we prepared an investigation trip around Scotland, an amazing opportunity to learn about renewable energy sources by travelling”
“When studying at CICD I had the opportunity to develop personal and professional skills in so many ways. The concept of living in a community was a relevant part for my preparation to the project and to the world – everyone counts on everyone and I learned how to deal with difficulties that can arise at any time as a group and as an individual”
