Village Building Convergence - Montpelier Vermont
This great green event is over now!
Community – Water – Shelter – Food – Energy – Transportation – Community!
The last week in August, Montpelier will come alive with a community-wide celebration of sustainable living, practical homesteading skills, and visions of a more resilient local community. The VBC is 9-day event filled with hands-on education in permaculture design and construction, ecological building, and public art that will extend and celebrate the Great Reskilling of our communities embodied in these projects. All projects are built through collaboration and the commitment of a neighborhood to strengthen itself.
The VBC is a volunteer run grassroots organization. Most events are free and open to the public.
Each day of the week will focus on our basic needs and how we can create more resilient patterns as we transition into new relationships with economy, ecology, and community. Projects are geared towards developing strong local relationships, social capital, placemaking, ecological design, and supporting our local economy. In these changing times, we support the vision of “Transition Towns”: developing our city and bioregion as a network of interconnected and resilient village centers.
See website, linked above, for samples of the 34 projects and workshops on the schedule and for more information.
