An open educational space whose objective is to contribute to the quest for knowledge through practical application, founded by Gustavo Esteva.
Inside UniTierra’s small operational space one finds a library, communication center with computers, radio and video equipment, and a demonstration area for eco-techniques and small urban garden. At the center activities include: workshops, intercultural dialogues, debates, open discussions, and other events … all kinds of activities that enable participants to reflect on the issues of society and local communities, together designing solutions for the real world and applying these tools in practice.
The methodology of “no-method” has inspired similar projects in other places. Other ‘Uni-Tierra’s are popping up, including in Chiapas, California, and Canada.
