AULA NATURALEZA
EL PROYECTO
Estamos construyendo un aula 100% biomimética que será una sala de educación ambiental al servicio de todas las escuelas del partido de Mar Chiquita y del resto del país. Un espacio de inspiración en alfabetización ecológica para todas las personas comprometidas con el diseño de culturas regenerativas.
En el verano 2022 dejamos listos los cimientos, estructuras y bases del techo.
Este edificio imita los principios de la naturaleza para producir su propia energía renovable, para capturar agua de lluvia, cuenta con sistemas de calefacción y refrigeración ecológicos, con un sistema de tratamiento de aguas grises biológico y está siendo construido con energía solar y materiales de alta durabilidad.
Lo construimos a través de módulos de formación para agentes de cambio, porque creemos que la salida es colectiva, involucrando mente, corazón y manos!
Para terminar la construcción necesitamos reunir $12.000.000 y contamos con vos para lograrlo.

Quinta Esencia is the place where you can start walking down that path.
With over a decade of experience in permaculture design, we have brought together everything we know into this comprehensive program to help you embark on your own dream projects and pollinate everywhere with what you have learned and experienced with us.
Holistic learning experience: The disciple is the master and vice versa, which is why we will guide you in your own exploration. Our activities involve the «head, heart and hands» philosophy, which entails reflecting on new knowledge, opening up all your senses and getting your hands dirty. You can choose to participate in green building, vegetable gardening, agroforestry, beekeeping or greenhouse keeping, always based on the premise of learning by doing. We will also seek to share artistic and recreational moments involving music, singing, painting or writing.
