Students:Alena Křivánková

I am undergraduate student of development studies at Mendel university in Brno. As I am studying development studies, I would like to hear the opinions if it is possible to have sustainable development is possible at all and on which level of development - local, global? I would like to see some functional projects that can be transferred to other regions.

I dont know the project from my region in Brno but I visited Embercombe - peaceful place of very enthusiastic people in England. It is community that is trying to live in sustainable way - having garden, sharing knowledge, cooperate with neighboroughing villages... Tim McCarney - the founder and leader of this community is well known for his speeches about sustainability. He is trying to teach about how everyone can participate in this kind of development. In Embercombe they offer many activities, courses also about personal develepment that leads to taking responsibility for our lives. I am looking forward to see you in 3 days.
