Sharing the skills you’ll need along the way
Education and Training
Ecomotive offer a range of ways that you can learn both the theory and practise of community-led housing. Building on our personal and professional experiences over decades, we can support, inspire and educate you to develop the skills you’ll need along the way.
Tours of Ashley Vale
If you’re thinking about building your own home, a great first step is to visit a completed project!
We offer tours of Ashley Vale, the self build project that created Ecomotive, for interested self builders, local authorities, architects, planners, other housing professionals, universities, schools and youth groups.
Workshops and Talks
Community self build encompasses a rich range of practical and theoretical topics, including sustainability, communities, building design and management, planning, renewable energy, housing, affordable housing, local and national policy, practice and case studies. The Ashley Vale self build project offers a great opportunity to experience these topics up close and speak to people who have been involved in the project from conception through to completion.
