Long Way Home 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 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 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 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.
