If you live or want to live according to the values of cooperation, sustainability, and equality this conference is for you. You’ll get something out of this event whether you’re brand new to communities and cooperatives, or have been living and working in them for decades. The conference focuses on Intentional Communities, including models such as Ecovillages, Cohousing, and Housing Cooperatives, and the larger cooperative movement, including all kinds of cooperative and collective organizations. The Twin Oaks conference site has open air facilities and the basic registration option includes camping. Indoor accommodations are also available. Meals and snacks are provided (including food contributions from participants) from Friday dinner through Monday dinner. Activities at the conference include formal workshops and presentations, open space workshops provided by participants, community introductions and networking, tours of three different intentional communities, a rockin’ dance party, and plenty of time to hang out and have fun.

This event shall take a form of lecture where students in my College are made to understand that if they do not do anything about the climate now, there will be no future for them. If we act as a community watching each other, the world will be a better place for us and our children. There will also be walks to areas that have been affected by climate change.
