What we do

The ReSCOPE Programme was born out of the pioneering work of promoting Permaculture in schools in Zimbabwe in the mid 1990’s which led to the establishment of the Schools and Colleges Permaculture (SCOPE) Zimbabwe. In 2006 the ReSCOPE Programme was set up to promote this work in the region of east and southern Africa. Now the programme has country chapters in Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Our core principles which we use to evaluate our performance are:

  • Promoting deep and thoughtful care for the environment and everything in it, based on a wholesome view that understands the interconnections between all things.
  • Promoting a needs based integrated land design practice that creatively weaves together the building of resilience within the ecosystem while moving communities towards food sovereignty, nutrition and income security.
  • Emphasize the identification and creative use of local and indigenous resources and knowledge while rooted in our culture and celebrating intergenerational learning.
  • Genuine and wide participation of young people at all levels of our activities.
  • Make learning fun, practical and relevant for everyone, while having an integrated approach across the curricular and promoting the inclusive and active participation of whole communities.
  • Ensuring systematic and regular reflection and learning from experience, and planning ahead strategically at all levels, in partnership with our stakeholders.
  • Ensuring user friendly, regular and systematic documentation and transparent information sharing.
  • Always start small, ensure quality and grow organically.

XVI Encuentro de Ecoaldeas

Del 30 de agosto al 1 de septiembre, una introducción al mundo de la comunidad 2 y 3 de septiembre. Incubadora de proyectos El espacio para compartir y comprender el proceso que hemos de realizar como personas para materializar aquí y ahora la opción de las ecoaldeas y los proyectos comunitarios. Creamos una nueva forma basada en desarrollar las 4 dimensiones: social-comunitaria, ecológica, económica, espiritual. Con talleres, charlas, experiencias que nos permitirán trazar nuestra propia ruta por este universo ecoaldeano. También será un momento festivo en donde compartir experiencias, comprobar lo valioso de las ideas y las dificultades de su implementación, divulgar conocimientos que nos ayuden a transformar, de manera creativa, nuestras vidas y nuestro entorno hacia nuevos modelos de convivencia que velen por la sostenibilidad, la autogestión y el respeto por minorías y mayorías. Por la tarde: talleres, fiestas, asambleas, juegos…. Programa Del 30 de agosto al 1 de septiembre, una introducción al mundo de la comunidad Cada día desde la 10 a las 16 h Divididas en cuatro dimensiones, encontraremos una serie de talleres, charlas, experiencias con las que trazar nuestra propia ruta por este universo ecoaldeano. Dimensión Social y comunitaria: En ella abordaremos los criterios sobre los que construir comunidades sanas y equilibradas. Aspectos como los liderazgos, las tomas de decisiones, el activismo social, la comunicación no violenta, la gestión emocional y del poder, por ejemplo, nos ayudarán a descubrir la evidente necesidad de disponer de una buena caja de herramientas de facilitación para llevar a buen puerto nuestros proyectos colectivos. Dimensión Ecológica: Agricultura biológica, la Permacultura, la huella ecológica, la huella hídrica, la autogestión energética, el agua, la bioconstrucción, las iniciativas en transición, herramientas para una nueva sociedad
