Green Building Workshop: Making an Eco School in Guatemala 2024

The Green Building Workshop (GBW) is Long Way Home and Ecohab’s unique 4-week intensive course designed for individuals who wish to dive deep into green-building and design topics, as taught by expert instructors.

GBW participants will learn and build alongside staff and volunteers from all over the world and our experienced local team. Students will live in a green-designed home and will help keep a zero-waste household, an experience that can create life-changing habits.

The program takes place in April and November each year at our site in San Juan Comalapa, a rural town in Guatemala’s highlands. Participants who join the Workshop will contribute to our efforts to make healthy and resilient structures accessible to low-resourced and climate-stressed communities.
