Concept

From a building to a knowledge centre

The building becomes a knowledge centre: a workshop courtyard at its heart, surrounded by a crafts workshop, a classroom, an arts workshop, a training hall and an educational library.

The Values Academy

Here the academy trains young men and women in guiding, hospitality and the visitor experience, to become the storytellers of Sadus and the hosts of its visitors.

Field learning, living knowledge

Educational programmes are one of the pillars of the Sadus experience: field learning and living knowledge, for schools, universities and researchers.

The village welcomes you today
