The Panya Project hosts schools from around the world for anything from one days to two weeks on site. Students get the opportunity to explore some of the issues around sustainability and temporarily join in a community that strives to live in a way that greatly reduces the ecological footprint on the planet. Students can participate in any number of activities currently taking place on site, including organic gardening, natural building, group building activities, swimming at a nearby lake and contributing to the ongoing discussions about global warming, consumption, pollution, globalization and living an inspired life. Most importantly students get to interact with a number of people that live on the farm and gain inspiration and understanding of an alternative way of living life.
Panya works to accomodate schools, both in terms of curriculum and cost, so that all of our objectives can be met at a cost that is reasonable to each school.

It was very rewarding to stand back and (…)
