Gaia University

Image

Gaia University offers a unique approach to higher learning by offering students (called Associates) access to accredited Bachelors and Masters degrees and Graduate Diplomas whilst the Associate is actively engaged in self and planetary transformation. Linking your ideals with self-directed practical experience, you act as a world changer, by working for local and global sustainability and regeneration, justice and peace.

Our self-directed action learning methodology enables you to study locally, at work or on project, in your own language, supported by Gaia University's Regional Organizers, and a worldwide network of learning providers, tutors and mentors.

No longer do you have to choose between earning a living and studying. With action learning your work and your projects become your places of study.

Youth Journalist Shadia Wood Takes on Climate Change

20090226_powershift_022ii.png

The talking, walking, drinking coffee, and urgent meetings rang on in the background as youth from all over the world sat in a circle on a floor. It was the United Nations Climate Negotiations. It was Denmark. It was cold. As youth journalists, we warmed ourselves with the stories from movements we were a part of in India, Kenya, Singapore, Australia, Sweden, Argentina, the US and the Antarctic. We represented all seven continents and we were reporting on survival.

I’m a second year associate at Gaia University and I founded
Project Survival Media one year ago today. These were the things I knew: young people all over the world are absolutely terrified about the world we are inheriting; there is not one thing that climate change leaves un-touched; and so many youth are passionate about fighting climate change.

Youth are creative, funny, and inspiring. When there is vision and guidance, youth can coordinate change in unfathomable ways.

Grifen Hope Designs for Resilience in Post-earthquake Chile

elmanzano260810.pngAll is well in Chile, six months out from the mega-quake. With millions currently affected by the flooding in Pakistan, we encounter a vivid reminder that not only have we fared well here, but that we are also uniquely positioned to play a role in preparing people for emergence. Here at our budding center for the great reskilling, La Ecoscuela El Manzano, we have been doing our best to turn crises into opportunity. Thousands of Chileans and others from around the world are listening to the story of hope that we are weaving.

With the help of Gaia University, the Artists Project Earth, the Permaculture Research Institute, the Hepburn Relocalisation Network and many others, we are aiming to build long-term resilience in preparation for the future effects of natural disaster and economic, climate, and energy disruption as or before seemingly inevitable discontinuity occurs. Our intention is to create a world-class center offering transformative action learning pathways that equip people and communities for sustainability. This living university will soon be inaugurated as Gaia University’s first Latin American regional center, ‘Gaia Chile’.

Kyle Thiermann Campaigns for Economic and Environmental Awareness

260810kyle.png
I feel like a baby kangaroo tucked away in a pouch, gaining the nourishment I need to spring out into the world. It’s my second year as a Gaia University bachelor’s associate and I’m currently developing a documentary video which will track a product sold in the US back to its manufacture in Sri Lanka. The goal of the project is to show people the power they have to create change – every day – by raising their consciousness about the geographical origin of the products they buy and the people who make them. I’m just days away from heading to Sri Lanka as I write this!

I’ve spent the last few months developing my new website, kylethiermann.com, where people will be able to follow my adventure in Sri Lanka as it unfolds. I recently had the opportunity to release this site publicly during a speech I gave in San Francisco at the Peter Benchley Awards. Peter Benchley is the guy who wrote Jaws. Before he died he created a foundation dedicated to ocean activism. I received the Peter Benchley Youth Award for my campaign, Claim Your Change. Over 350 of the top ocean activists were at this event so, as you might imagine, I was about ready to spontaneously combust into flames with excitement when I got on stage. It was a perfect opportunity for me to highlight my Sri Lanka project and point people to my new site.
