About the Communities

What we do

Qian Gu Shan is a small village in a valley. She has about 500 people but only more than 100 people still live there, and mainly old people over 60 years. Young people are working in cities around and also their children have education there.
There are around 80 empty private courtyard houses and a big public courtyard in the village. A lot of fields are barren.
The village is poor and polluted by pesticide and fertilizer. Local people want to change but have no idea. We came here to talk with them about ecovillage, the way to approach healthy and sustainable life. They agreed.
We organized some activities to involve new villagers and local villagers together to build their own and public ecovillage.
Now we are renovating the public canteen with the bed and breakfast, to attract new villagers to join working and living here.
In the future we wish to build this ecovillage to be an example in north China. And cultivate more ecovillages in China and other places.

Sogutlucesme Cad. No: 196/3 Detailed info (Turkish): http://yeryuzudernegi.org/projedetay.php?id=51 Coordinators: SULE GONULSUZ sulegonulsuz@hotmail.com NURIYE KAYALI kayalinuriye@gmail.com We use local seeds and we provided those seeds from people who make organical farming. After we procure those seeds, we put them on a cycle. We organized “Seed Exchange Days”, where people could meet and exchange their seeds, their knowledge and experiences. We tried to take it one step further and we are trying to categorize the seeds. For example, -there is a bean seed. But which type of bean seed is it? Or we try to categorize the seeds according to their durabilty in which city they could grow. We believe that all the seeds in the World are people’s seeds and we want to share them with everyone.

Ecotratamiento de Aguas Residuales

Agua es vida, el recurso más importante de todos. Desde la perspectiva de Sunseed como un centro educativo sobre la vida de bajo impacto nos gustarĂ­a ofrecerles un curso para aprender, profundizar e intercambiar los conocimientos teĂłricos y prácticos sobre el cuidado de agua. El curso va a estar enfocado principalmente en el tema de saneamiento ecolĂłgico de aguas residuales, cubriendo a la vez los aspectos teĂłricos de potabilizaciĂłn de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Vamos a aprender como diseñar y construir un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas grises a travĂ©s de la construcciĂłn de humedales artificiales de flujo subsuperficial, en cuales se trata de la utilizaciĂłn de plantas acuáticas para depurar las aguas residuales que han tenido un tratamiento primario. Los humedales artificiales son canales de gravilla sembrados con las plantas depuradoras, han sido aplicadas y debidamente reguladas en varios paĂ­ses de Europa y ofrecen una alternativa sana y segura tanto para autogestionar los recursos de agua como poder reutilizar agua tratada en un hogar. Usando herramientas como power point, videos y charlas vamos a aprender sobre el diseño y aspectos claves para tener en cuenta construyendo nuestro sistema casero. En tiempo libre vamos a divertirnos con juegos, mĂşsica y baños en una poza cercana. El curso va a estar dividido en partes teĂłricas y prácticas. La parte práctica va a incluir – Diseño de un sistema completo de tratamiento de aguas residuales – las tuberĂ­as, tratamiento primario (trampas de grasa y tanques sĂ©pticos), tratamiento secundario (Humedales Artificiales de Flujo Subsuperficial), riego con aguas grises. – ConstrucciĂłn de una trampa de grasa como el tratamiento primario – PreparaciĂłn de un humedal artificial de flujo horizontal – impermeabilizaciĂłn y conexiones. Parte teĂłrica va a cubrir la introducciĂłn a la potabilizaciĂłn de agua y aprovechamiento de agua lluvia. Para mejorar nuestra experiencia educativa vamos a definir los aspec
