The Sustainability Institute is a non-profit trust, founded in 1999. An international living and learning centre focussing on studies and experience in ecology, community and spirit, we work in partnership with the School of Public Management and Planning, University of Stellenbosch in the following areas of  education (Masters and PhD degrees in Sustainable Development Planning and Sustainable Agriculture), Early Childhood Development, Community Development Practice and Management, project facilitation to establish Sustainable Neighbourhood Developments in various localities,policy research in the sustainable development sector. The Institute is located in the Lynedoch EcoVillage, a place where we have provided development facilitation to create a space for sustainable living and learning.

The Lynedoch Youth Theatre group, taught by Mareth van Schalkwyk from the Flom Community Theatre, performed Aspoestertjie (Cinderella) in the Lynedoch School Hall. The kids all looked fantastic in their costumes (all made by Mareth) and pulled off a great performance for their families.
