Out of Eden Learn

Happy to explore with @eTwinningGr educators the way that @OutofEdenLearn #OpenCanopy pedagogy intertwines with the theme of climate change and to identify aspects of @PaulSalopek’s @outofedenwalk that inspire students to achieve #SDGs #Oikosymmahia_Team

As an independent nonprofit organization, the Walk relies on public support. We’re committed to creating fact-based, high-quality storytelling content that fosters cross-cultural understanding, bridge-building, and ethical journalism. Support our work: outofedenwalknonprofit.org/campaign 👣

After 12 years of walking towards sunrise out of Africa, Out of Eden Walk is poised to step out of Asia, steam across the North Pacific by cargo ship, and set off on a final, slow pivot south to our long journey’s finish line—Tierra del Fuego. Join us: outofedenwalknonprofit.org/campaign

What does an art colony look like in #China? Well, there's wall murals, a clothes-trade bank, organic sourdough bread with dried plums, the workshop of a German prosthetic leg maker, and a doorless tea house called “the crappy tea house.” @outofedenwalk outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/articles/2024-…
