How it works, how to get it

When will you offer courses?

Courses are being developed now. We hope to have the first courses available in 2011..

We’ll tell you in Torch, the New Earth Village newsletter. To subscribe to Torch, go to the top menu, Connect > Newsletter.

What courses will you offer?

Topic areas in community development will include leadership, planning, teamwork, communication, vision-making, community engagement and more.

Personal development will focus on self-awareness, interpersonal skills, principles-based living, and health and well-being.

We welcome your ideas. If you have suggestions, please tell us by completing our 5 minute Training Survey (top menu, Training > Survey or leave us a comment in Tell Us (top menu, Connect > Tell Us).

How does New Earth Village training work?

Go to Training (top menu) for a complete description of New Earth Village's SOAR ProTraining and how you can get it. (under development). The courses themselves are housed in Creator (4 Realms > Creator).

With guidance from us, a course facilitator (TalkWalker) from your community organizes the course participants and the facility, and orchestrates the course.

From the New Earth Village store (top menu, Store), your administrator pays for a SOAR ProTraining pathway (program), then goes to 4 Realms > Creator > [desired course]. The course material is streamed over the internet to a computer at your location. A course guide, downloaded earlier from New Earth Village, is printed by your TalkWalker and distributed to participants.

Like a You Tube video, the streamed audio-visual material is controlled by your local computer. However, instead of video, New Earth Village uses sound with still images to ensure high quality transmission.

Courses are typically a mix of short talks mixed with whole group and small group conversations and exercises, and individual reflection. To learn more, please go to Training (top menu).
