Hello Everyone (-:
We are glad to have FINALLY joined the group! Some of you know us as "RAWjuvenation Cafe". We are currently working on a vision, one that we have found to be quite popular, that involves many aspects of our community, and will need the community's support and ACTION. Without furthur adieu, I present our proposal:
The Dream Creates Us: An Educational Eco-village for Rosario
Our Dearest Community:
You are invited to consider an opportunity to re-vision the Rosario Resort. Independent groups have met over the years to discuss developing Learning Design Skill Centers on the island. As evolving models of life long learning, such centers can become self-sustainable through tuition, mentor/apprenticeship programs, special events, organic farming and on-site whole foods preparation. A common theme in our discussion groups is the desire to secure a future for life skills and cottage industries, within the k-12 public education curriculum and beyond. Through internships, green building, and retreat residencies, our community can become more involved in structuring traditional educational models into family centered learning and occupational design.
The discussions continue with some urgency over the upcoming auction of the Rosario complex. The experience and skills necessary for creating a more integrated vision of Rosario’s future already exists within our community. It is a perfect time for the various groups to come together for a long-term economic and sustainable adventure. NOW is a time of action.
What would such an eco-village look like? That is entirely up to us, the community, to create. This is an opportunity to improve educational and wellness options, for all ages, and to do so in a way that preserves the cultural value of the site itself.
The consensus is that we want to expand employment opportunities, and to offer year round access, housing, and programs. Communications with distance learning universities is also underway, so that a potential satellite campus for higher learning is possible in the near future.
Immediate needs: Funding to enter the bid process. Funding to purchase. Form an advisory committee dedicated to the project. Collaborations for receiving funding which benefits other related nonprofits locally.
The perpetual legacy this represents on both the local and global systems of educational design is in perfect harmony with a long held vision for our community of islands.
