Schloss Tonndorf
Our declared goal is to create diverse fields of employment at the place of residence that are in harmony with the special place and make the community economically independent. In some areas self-sufficiency is sought, which will also have an effect on the outside in the sense of subsistence farming. Some activities are already well established operations, others are in the planning or development phase.
How to run an EDE?
Several of our EDE graduates have carried on organising EDE programmes in their local areas, and you are warmly encouraged to do so after completing your course.
The recommended time frame of an EDE is four weeks, however this is not fixed and varies with each individual programme.
The material can be condensed into smaller workshops, spread out over a longer period, or distributed in blocks at different times and locations.
