EL BON HUMÀ SCHOOL
A Manifesto for Intergenerational living, creativity, connection, and conscience
The Good Human School is a radical, intergenerational experiment in living, learning, and creating – together.

being is about human nature, culture and creativity, our well-being, our witness, and the many wonderful ways we can survive and thrive in response to existential challenges.
