The Camp takes place in Auroville, a dynamic international community committed to sustainable living, radical experimentation and personal development. \nBENEFITS & WHO IS THIS FOR?\nThe Bamboo Summer  School is perfect for Architect, Architect students, Engineers and anyone who wants to gain skills and hands-on experience working with bamboo, one of the most eco-friendly building materials, while also exploring various aspects of sustainable living. It is for anyone who is concerned about building a more environmentally sustainable world.\nAn essential aspect of building a more sustainable world is the quality of the consciousness we bring to it.  Our outer environment – whether built or natural – reflects the state of our inner awareness.  For that reason, part of this programme will also focus on expanding awareness, exploring how “inner” space relates to the world we construct “outside.”\nPROGRAMME OUTLINE\nThe Bamboo Summer School will take place over 6 days, covering full day intensive sessions offered daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.  The sessions are offered according to two areas of focus, as follows:\n1.
