ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is Highest Good creating through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students:

• • • Learn about the components: Education open source hub
    • Learn how the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
      

This last week the core team transferred the first 25% of the written content for the Summer Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan is purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Summer.”

We also completed the first 25% of the mindmap for the Cooperation and Collaboration Lesson Plan, and added the theme icons to the website, which you see here:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is Highest Good creating through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

• • • Learn about the structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
    • See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This last week the core team finalized the organization of the streamlined version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page, which includes contributions provided by Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (creator of the COHERENT model for comprehensive digestive health). This week we had a final additional pioneer proofread and edit the page. The page is now officially launched!

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is Highest Good creating through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

• • • Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
    • Learn about the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
    • Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week’s focus was determining and describing step-by-step applications of polyethylene to various locations within the FFF CAD drawing, particularly focusing on the footer and the water barrier separation between the foundation gravel bags and earthbags. We’d say we are now 75% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.

Working on the Tree House Village (Pod 7), Jesika Rohrbach (Architectural Drafter, Designer, and 3-D Modeler) also designed the details you see here for the various recreation spaces including outside play area details, game room details both inside and outside, arts and crafts structure details both inside and outside, and more.

• • • Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

We also made final edits and continued the multi-hour reorganization of the icons designed by Graphic Designer, Ivan Manzurov. The icons we finished and organized this week were the Highest Good Food and Highest Good Education icons shown here. We’d say we are now about 40% done with this graphics task.

The core team additionally updated the One Community Now Page to include the specifics you see here discussing how we organize virtually and what we’re focusing on now, why we’re focusing on what we are, and how this applies securing funding.
