The Eco-Nomadic School was a long-term pan-European programme that travelled the UK, Germany, France, Romania and The Netherlands between 2011 and 2015. It aimed to facilitate mutual teaching and learning through a series of seminars, workshops and live projects organised by each partner of the Eco-Nomadic School, and in close collaboration with local interest and community groups.

The nomadic and temporary school for mutual learning and teaching of eco-civic practices was aiming to reinforce democratic values by skills and knowledge transfer on issues of resilience in different urban contexts. Involving participants of diverse ages and social and cultural backgrounds, the project is based on a partnership between 4 organisations – AAA (France), AGENCY/UoS (UK), MyVillage (AL), FCDL (Romania) already active in the dissemination of ecological skills and knowledge. The project also received support from the EU network RHYZOM.

Four European urban contexts are targeted through participative training workshops, mutual teaching and learning with the learning dissemination through a symposium. The different areas targeted are: metropolitan suburban (France), post-industrial urban (UK), suburban rural (AL) isolated rural (Romania).


The EU Network RYZOM has supported other interesting projects such as R-Urban, an urban farm experiment in London and Paris suburbs, read our Agile City post about it here
