Connecting World Change with Having More Fun – One Community Weekly Progress Update #337

One Community is connecting world change with having more fun. We are doing this by designing open source and free-shared sustainability components (food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, and global stewardship practices) that will provide more time, money, and access to fulfilled living practices and an enriching social architecture.

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
  
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs

One Community’s physical location will forward this movement as the first of many self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world. This is the September 8th, 2019 edition (#337) of our weekly progress update detailing our team’s development and accomplishments:

That is, of course, until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students. Visit the Education section below for links to all the completed elements of this component and details on the final remaining action items for this area of One Community before moving onto the property and fully launching it.

• Lesson Plans for Life – Lesson Plans How-to
• Foundations of Outstanding Leaders, Teachers, and Communicators
