Living Routes - Study Abroad in Ecovillages

"Study abroad programs like Living Routes' are playing a critical role in preparing the next generation to bring sustainable ways of living into the mainstream." — Patch Adams

Bring your education to life by studying in Ecovillages around the world. Ecovillages are ecological communities that provide ideal campuses for students to learn about real-world issues including sustainable development, green building, organic agriculture and women's empowerment. Learn to live in harmony with local environments as you investigate personal and community based solutions to real world issues with one of the most innovative environmental study abroad programs.

Earn college credit from University of Massachusetts Amherst on our semester, Summer and January-term study abroad programs (open also to gap year/high school students). Through academic and experiential coursework, environmental community service learning, and cultural excursions, you develop the understanding, skills and commitment to restore our planet and prepare for careers that make a difference. Living Routes is a carbon neutral organization.

		" There is an entirely different definition of "work" here. It isn't just "getting things done". It's living. Work is a process that includes people, interactions, and stories. It's the physical activity that happens, and it's the talk and laughter around it. It's love. Work is love in action." (Kyle Ryan and Emma Dines- Sept. 16- Scotland Fall '07) " The culture and way of life is just so different and refreshing, and has radically influenced my vision of the future. The permaculture ideals imbedded in this place are now stuck on me too, and even my process of thinking and seeing have been pushed in a new direction. " (Chris Hamel- July 19, Brazil Summer '07)
