How to Use This Website
The Rural School of Economics (RSoE) also lives on this website.
We use this space to build a growing archive of events, learnings, projects and their histories. As our experiences accumulate, we are also thinking about how to make this knowledge accessible and useful to others.
How to Use This Website
About - Find out what the Rural School of Economics is and how it came to be, together with information about its coordinators and how to get in touch.
News - Updates about upcoming events and activities. You can also follow us on Instagram and sign up for the newsletter.
Places - Each place-specific project has its own page. The projects are long-term, multi-year developments, and some may eventually be archived when activity comes to an end or moves elsewhere.
Each page begins with a short description of the place and project, followed by Highlights and a Timeline. The timeline documents events, preparations, developments, and outcomes as they happen, with new material added as projects evolve. It runs chronologically, from the most recent activities to the earliest steps.
The Highlights section brings together selected events, results or moments that we feel are particularly significant within a much longer project history.
Although each project is made by many people, we also list the main coordinators so that you can get in touch with those directly involved.
Drawings - Drawing is an accessible visual tool that can be used in many different ways. Here you can find examples of the drawing methods we use across our projects, organised by category, place and year.
Learning - An evolving collection of approaches, tools, and methods practiced and/ or developed by Myvillages and the RSoE, with examples of how they have been applied in different places.
Library - A space for sharing texts, writing, publications, and other resources connected to our practice. RSoE also has a slowly growing collection of self-published booklets and collaborative publications, developed through our projects and shared learning.
Economics - This section is currently still in development. Here, we are thinking about how to share our understanding of the relationships between culture and economy, while also curating examples from the growing archive in Places.
The Rural School of Economics website was built by An Endless Supply. Indra Gleizde and Bertwin Wenink are looking after the content and maintenance.
