It is the objective of IBS to train participants to become
effective catalysts in the regeneration of the planet. The
"Bioregional" perspective means that our focus is on the
design and evolution of healthy, interdependent and self-reliant
communities.
Today we can not just, "Think Globally and Act Locally" We
also need to, "Think Long Term and Act Now". Therefore, IBS was
founded to demonstrate the recent, ecologically oriented, scientific,
social and technological achievements that are relevant
to achieving the goal of an ecological society.
