Sustainable learning? Learning for sustainability?

Today we introduce the new social platform Dumonda.Me, where you can ask questions about sustainability and get answers from a growing community of committed people. And we invite you to a journey to so former 'windows' about learning for sustainability in the advent calendar.

DumondaMe is a new social network, a place on the Internet where all interested parties can collect and answer questions. It is about "sustainability in the broadest sense" - more than nature conservation: social changes, relationship work, lifelong learning and new participatory forms of work are as much a part of it as, for example, art projects and questions about the meaning of life. DumondaMe offers access to 11 subject areas. The contents invite you to browse and you too can easily share your knowledge or have your burning question answered by others. For example today's question of the day

By registering your commitment on DumondaMe, you can inform all users at once and reach people who are interested in sustainability! DumondaMe is free of advertising and free to use.
