Lifelong learning is essential to the growth and development of any individual and community in general. A person of any age or background has the ability to learn new skills and thought patterns. Learning can improve overall health, mental function, self-confidence, and even create new financial opportunities. We live in a dynamic, hyper-complex and interconnected world that requires us to learn how to quickly adapt to change, evolve, and grow. Lifelong learning is one of life's greatest gifts.

In the end you are ‘Certified’ by the community you serve and it is the experience and knowledge you learn along the way, not the paper credentials at the end of university program, a training course, conference, workshop or seminar that matters ~ Let your actions speak louder than a degree!

There are many people in possession of high degrees because they are good at going to school but are still quite incompetent at changing and improving the status quo for the weakest members in a society ~ including animals!

“We will ultimately not be judged by our technology, we won't be judged by our design, we won't be judged by our intellect and reason. Ultimately, you judge the character of a society, not by how they treat their rich and the powerful and the privileged, but by how they treat the poor, the condemned, the disabled. Because it's in that nexus that we actually begin to understand truly profound things about who we are” - Bryan Stevenson 

You are here and that is what matters! We don’t believe that in the pursuit of knowledge, a degree or diploma is really the only thing that matters! If you learn a useful skill or trade, is proof by positive action not enough, or does the piece of paper need to be acquired? Too much emphasis is put on the degree and not enough on actual skills, talents and knowledge. We want to help you become a change agent to drive the human transformation and evolution to a new paradigm of peace collaboration, open-source and abundant living! The MCCDO Centre a catalyst to help this process of transcendence start locally!

The MCCDO Centre is located 5km outside of Kokstad along the R617 on Mountain View Farm and operates in partnership with EG Permaculture Co-op Ltd. The centre consist of 5 hubs which include ‘The Information and Inspiration Centre’, ‘The Lifestyle Lounge’, ‘The Agri-Pod’, ‘The House of Higher Consciousness’ and the envisioned ‘Community Factory’. Together these hubs enable MCCDO to facilitate and administer various community development initiatives and projects in the region.
