Andes Consulting
Andes Consulting also lends services designing sustainable human settlements. AC has recently helped starting a new ecovillage in Telemark, Norway by making the basic design for the site.
Andes Consulting is shaped into two main divisions:
- Andes Studies
Andes Studies works in the field of education and is currently starting a cooperative venture with Telemark University College
in Norway (Høgskolen i Telemark). Andes Studies is the enterprise in charge of recruiting students who are about to take the
spanish language as part of their bachelor degrees. The semester in Spanish Language and Latin American Culture starting in
the Fall 2010, offers students 4 studytrips included in the semester course, 30 university/College credits which can be used
as part of a university/College degree and the oportunity to study abroad in an ecological Educational Ecocenter. At El Poncho
Ecocenter students will surely be inspired to think about the state of the planet, so the course in itself, will be a mixture
of increasing awareness, studies and getting to know the culture from the inside while travelling.
Andes Studies has already begun to give monthly courses in Ecovillage Design Education EDE. These courses have the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (UNDESD) stemple and are certified by Gaia Education (GE). The first course of this type in Scandinavia summer 2009, was very succesful.

Andes Trades
Andes Trades works with organic and ecological product imports, introducing new and more environmentally friendly products, and organizing ecotours to the Andes region.
Andes consulting's main office is stablished in Telemark, and will be carrying its activities in Norway organizing courses and helping Telemark University College recruit students for the Spanish and Latin American Culture semester study.
Sincerely Yours,
Enrique Hidalgo
