“The impetus for this project came from our passion for nature and the limitations in the educational conditions for students during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

In 2021, we decided to use all our means and start a school in nature, with an ecological curriculum, and strive for a more human\/nature-connected educational development.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/div>

Camille Eichmann (Swiss,) and Mercia (Brazilian) graduated from the University of Zurich with a Master’s degree in Science – Geography. After 15 years in Switzerland working in different educational and private sector jobs, they moved to Barcelona where Mercia studied School Management at the University of Barcelona.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Starting a school is not an easy undertaking!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Our partnership with <\/span>Gaia Education<\/span><\/a> was a game-changer in establishing an ecological curriculum. Gaia Education shared with us a more holistic overview that fit exactly what we were looking for;\u00a0 a sense of community, a non-violent communication program, and an ecological curriculum that is based on the dimensions of human experience;<\/span><\/em><\/p>

\u00a0Social, Economic, Ecological, and World View, known as <\/span>Four primary dimensions<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>
