Learning Parties

Description

"Learning Parties bring small groups of neighbours, friends, and families together with a knowledgeable, warm and articulate guide to practice the hands-on arts, preferably so that somebody benefits by getting to take home a solar water heater, or having their garden started for them, or getting to keep some freshly-made sauerkraut or kimchi.

People are more likely to practice and share these skills and traditions when they are grounded in a fun, intelligent and supportive community and are learning locally at a neighbour’s home, backyard, or a community organization.

Learning parties tend to group in the following themes: healing arts, repair, nourishing food traditions, green building and renovating, alternative energy, and cultural creation/making your own fun– an essential piece in the sustainable living puzzle!" (http://slas.ca/learning-party/)
