Korogonas Ark is a multi-faceted, multi-coloured, long-term project, a contemporary Ark for the preservation and dissemination of traditional values, information, old and contemporary knowledge as well as elements and methods among which seeds’ banks, natural, organic and sustainable farming, protection of various plants’ varieties, especially wild varieties, water, and Mother Nature’s resources. The Ark is the place where the preservation of experienced and approbated within the centuries global human values goes hand in hand with modernity, technological support and innovation when all of the last three serve sustainability, spirituality, fully harmonious coexistence among every entity in micro- and macro-scales on Mother Earth and the New Story, the Story of Connection.
The Ark identifies itself as a core entity both for personal growth and empowerment as well as for social transformation, working upon and spreading the qualities and practices of unity, peace interactions, offering, kindness, empathy, spirituality in action.
The main building of Korogonas Ark constitutes a paradigm bio-construction for the Greek University Graduates Architects’ Association, in terms of its innovation and sustainable materials, gently bridging the old and the new with extremely low eco-print.
Korogonas Ark is member of the Global Ecovillages Network (GEN) & the Open Farms Greece.
Through our multiple-year experience in education, training, holistic health, alternative modes of living & social structures and enriching our know-how, good practices & tools through the years via our collaborations with individuals/groups & the everyday invitations/challenges in the life of our community project, we are in the position to reliably and efficiently offer our services to individuals and groups on-site & out-of-site.

La Dimensión Social del Diseño Regenerativo

Are you looking to consciously re-invent cooperative and harmonious ways of living and working together? If so, how do we design solutions for group development, leadership, conflict resolution, decision-making, creativity, social justice and communication? Join Gaia Education’s Social Design for Sustainability course and learn practical effective ways to create the change we all seek. Our distinct programme is your chance to learn about the different ways to participate in this (r)evolutionary shift in paradigms. Our aim is to give you a better understanding of the true meaning of social equity and participatory action, and to enable participants to apply transformative tools that align us with more resilient social systems. Our relationship with others is too dear to let it default to old domineering paradigms. Many of us feel that our current social system is no longer sustainable and that more compassionate and just ways of organising are possible, but what are the alternatives? It is a commonly held belief that there are things individuals can do to change the system or improve their social condition but within the context of a complex global community, the effectiveness of isolated individual action is limited. We all co-create the system in which we live so once we join with others and work for a shared vision to improve the situation in our communities we participate in a powerful force for positive change If you have been part of a group, you already know that one of the most common reasons for failure of group projects is conflict. Conflict is a structural issue in the formation of groups so propagating successful group projects will necessarily entail a healing process in which we step out of the cycles of pain and violence that have run through human history and take responsibility for initiating new patterns. Rediscovering the beauty, compassionate nature and innate power of human beings
