Join us and work with our international team of participants to design and develop a community libary in the village of Kibaoni, Tanzania. Learn sustainable design concepts and join the local community to create a constructions that exemplifies a modern approach to traditional earth construction.
Through the project we hope to encourage the sustainable development of Kibaoni. This three month workshop will be a challenging and rewarding design build endeavor.
OBJECTIVE
The workshop offers an engaging and enriching experience to the participants to work with a local community and be involved in a project from the design to construction phases.
Throughout the project we will seek ways to engage the local community in our discussions and construction of the project. Our workshop will be an open invitation to the local villagers to become involved in the sharing experience. During the construction phase of the project, we will be working alongside craftsmen, builders and interested people from the village. We will learn of their construction methods and techniques while also sharing our own ideas with them and encouraging sustainable design concepts and practices.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Our project schedule is based on the successful completion of a design build initiative. The goal is to give all participants a worthwhile and informative building experience regardless of their duration of stay or arrival date. We encourage participants to stay for as long as possible as this will allow for the greatest involvement in all phases of design.
Tanzania Goes Mud!
