GREEN SCHOOL TULUM: REVOLUTIONIZING SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION
A new academic institution has arrived in Tulum, located in the heart of Selvazama, with a mission to promote sustainable education and train the future leaders. This new concept, bioconstruction engineering, is revolutionizing the way we think about urban architecture and sustainability.
Bioconstruction, a way of building that utilizes natural materials, considers energy performance and design, and prioritizes the environment, is the inspiration behind Green School Tulum. The school stands out as an innovative, environmentally responsible and aesthetically pleasing educational institution.
The architect of Green School Tulum, Jules de Laage, explains that bioconstruction is “a way of building that first seeks to observe what is around to take advantage of what we have on the land we inhabit. What is incredible and wonderful is that the environment will always give you what you need.”
Green School Tulum places a strong emphasis on educating the community about the importance of respecting and caring for nature, as well as the positive impact of sustainable actions. This approach to education not only involves innovative technologies but also a conscious and positive attitude towards the environment.
Surrounded by the turquoise waters of Tulum and the imposing jungle, this new institution offers a change in pedagogical paradigm that guides the conscious evolution of students through learning techniques that prioritize social development and environmental preservation.
The CEO and co-founder of Zamá Desarrollos, Engineer Rosas, highlights that the education system at Green School Tulum does not mean abandoning traditional methods of learning. Instead, it’s about applying that wisdom to regain a more honest and human perspective of the world, and to thrive in harmony with nature.
Green School Tulum is part of the growing global movement towards sustainable education, and is an emblem of the world’s transformation towards a more eco-friendly future. The school’s commitment to educating about the value of natural resources and preserving them for future generations is an inspiration to those looking to make a positive change in their lives. Jules de Laage concludes, “Green Schools have education values and much of their philosophy has to do with the places where we learn to walk, count, be adults and start a life in a world whose fragility is not so easy to care for. The structures of this educational model are the promise of a world full of inspiration, of a flexible world that can adapt to our creativity.”
