ISBBC 04 - Friland, Denmark
Education - The Next Generation
Aim of ISBBC 04
The ISBBC 2004 in Friland, Denmark, is for people who are in any way
involved (or want to be involved) in strawbale construction & natural
building. It is an opportunity to renew connections and to create new
networks, to exchange information and to celebrate !
The conference will feature a variety of workshops going beyond strawbale
building.
Via facilitated forums on issues such as "education in building", "women and
building", and "The socio-economic impacts of lowcost living" we hope to
bring in fresh energy and new ideas to the strawbale world.
The spirit of the whole ISBBC is to encourage, educate and inspire the
present and - particularly - the next generation of builders.

participants from different countries (including England, France, Germany
and Austria), and tour around Europe for one week. The convoys will make
stops at buildings and educational institutions along the way.
You can join the convoys by riding the bus or driving your own car. The
routes of the convoys are still under development. At the moment one starts
in Eire and one in Norway. Both end at Friland. (more later on
www.thelaststraw.org)
The SUMMER OF BUILDING
Hands on Experience
June 20 and onward
To honor and strengthen the theme of the conference, we are organizing a
"Summer of Building", with the aim of offering many young people a
high-quality learning experience in different natural building methods.
The Summer of Building is an opportunity for young people to gain more
experience in straw-bale building. During the conference, participants will
have access to an 'Job Centre' covering a number of natural building sites
to happen from June 2004 onward. A scheme (Hands for Knowledge) is set up to
facilitate the exchange of time for experience, so you can choose from a
variety of building projects that you´d like to work on during the summer.
Hosting a Summer of Building site
Are you interested in teaching someone how to build ? The Summer of Building
will be run according to the Hands for Knowledge scheme, where a fair day´s
work is exchanged for teaching, food and accommodation. If you are
undertaking, or involved in a building project from the 20th of June onward
(either northern or southern hemispheres) and are interested in teaching
skills to enthusiastic students, then please include yourself in the
register on our website, even if you´re not sure of the details yet.
Participating in the Summer of Building
If you don't think that you can make it to the ISBBC, but you'd still like
to do the Summer of Building, stay tuned in on the website for further
developments. Our aim is for this project to continue beyond the summer of
2004.
Post-conference Summer of Building goings-on at Friland
We will be participating in the Summer of Building here at Friland. The most
obvious project will be to finish off anything left incomplete from the
workshops. There will also be houses at different stages of construction to
be working on.
And last.
Please pass on this information.
. friends, nieces, colleagues .
