Karim Beers – Madrid, Spain

I was born in the USA but have been greatly influenced by ten years spent in Latin America and Africa. I studied Education and Development, and am very much interested in the training human resources capable of leading processes of development in their own communities. I am also intrigued by the idea of economic systems based on the principle of cooperation rather than competition, and look forward to the day when our current political and economic systems will remain only as a pitied memory. Raised by parents who recycle, compost, and ride their bikes to work, I now struggle to bring coherence to my ecological and spiritual beliefs and my day-to-day practices in Madrid, where I now work and live quite happily with my wife.
