LWH and Ecohab.org are teaming up from October 20 to November 14, 2025 to transform tires, cans, and plastic bottles filled with trash into classrooms for a village near San Juan Comalapa in Guatemala. 30-year green building veteran Phil Basehart will lead instruction.
The Green Building Workshop (GBW) is a unique 4-week intensive course designed by Long Way Home and Ecohab for individuals who wish to dive deep into green building and design topics, taught by expert instructors.
GBW participants will learn and build alongside staff and volunteers from around the world, as well a our experienced local team. Students have the opportunity to live in a green-designed home in a zero-waste household, an experience that can create life-changing habits.
The program takes place annually at our site in San Juan Comalapa, a rural town located 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.
