We are facing a change of model, a paradigm shift in our way of life in the transition from industrial society to information society. In light of a situation in which the human subject is essentially a worker-consumer, we want to construct a model in which people are the centre of interest and live together in a network: people with a multidisciplinary education, able to producing what they need to live by making good use of the resources of their environment, sharing knowledge through information networks.
People capable of producing energy, food and things in their immediate environment, connected to global social, economic and knowledge networks: revitalized human beings, creating communities of people who add value to their environment through their daily work.
A typical Valldaura working day begins with the care of the individual through the preparation of body, mind and spirit as the basis for a productive morning spent working the land to obtain food and obtaining energy from forest management and other renewable sources. The afternoon is devoted to researching the machines for fabricating objects, and the end of the day is spent connecting to the global community to expand the sum of creativity, knowledge and experience acquired and developed during the day.
