**Note, we changed our name in 2021 to be more reflective of our mission. Institute for Village Studies started in partnership with Western Washington University in 1999, and we look forward to carrying on this work as InPlace - Ecocultural Learning Institute.


 

We were just featured on a Thai PBS TV program! The segment was highlighting the Moklen community in Southern Thailand we are working with on sustainable tourism. The community is trying to build a model for tourism that shares their traditional culture and its emphasis on environmental conservation.
