Village Building Design Course: VBDC

It’s 20th anniversary of the Village Building Convergence!  One of the blessings this pandemic is offering is the time to reflect on our work. While we are needing to adapt to COVID-19, there are still several ways that we are continuing to support the essence of our work – to deepen relationships with each other and the land.

We understand that this is especially important as we find creative ways to hold our needs and desires to be together while we are physically distanced and moving through our collective grief in solidarity.

With this in our hearts, we are transitioning our flagship gathering – the Village Building Convergence (VBC) to a digital gathering. We weighed several options for how to move forward and felt that it is an especially critical time for us to feel connected to each other. So while technology has its host of limitations and problems, we simultaneously hold our deep desire and sense of responsibility to host community gatherings during this time.

We are witnessing a surge in interest in our placemaking and re-villaging models and want to inoculate as many communities with the tools that you need to be able to enable your community to thrive. So we are also adapting our Introductory workshop series to placemaking – the Village Building Design Course (VBDC) for a digital platform.

We would love it if you would check it out yourself, share it with friends, and on your social media platforms.
