The Green School in Bali

34,491 views
With natural light and a breeze that passes through, John Hardy's dream of building a green school comes alive in Bali. Created with bamboo architecture, no walls and a diverse range of teachers, this school not only teaches reading, writing, and arithmetic but also teaches how to reconnect to nature, endeavoring to develop future green leaders from 25 different countries. This 14 minute TED talk shares Hardy's amazing journey from being lit up by a small idea to the culmination of a beautiful model with these principles at its core: be local, let the environment lead, and think about how your grandchildren might build.

Wow!! Very beautiful buildings. I am happy that this is working for you.
The school curriculum sounds awesome. I especially agree with matching discipline with the mistake. Having the children sand and refinish the furniture that they put graffiti on teaches them "why" we do not damage furniture - it takes lots of work to fix it!! Congratulations on a beautiful and environmentally kind campus also.

The focus on solutions inspires me. I want to teach there. It is hopeful to see people taking action for positive change. I want all children to get to go to the Green School.

I sailed to Bali from Singapore in 1973 & felt like I had arrived in heaven ! What you have built here is so inspiring & contradictory to all the modern hotels that now exist there ! Congratulations, I think we could build something similar here in Byron Bay ! Thank you for showing us the way to really educate our children !
