RBE Training Arenas (RBE-TAs) may be an option for enabling currently established communities to begin a gradual transformation into an RBE. With RBE-TAs developing all over a web of support for experimental settlements, settlements could be like graduate school.

'''RBE Training Arena'''
An RBE-TA is sort of like a school with no tuition. Since this is the case the location can be any plot of land which students will live full-time. At an RBE-TA everyone is a student learning the best practices of a resource based economy. If you have ever seen a 'free school' or a 'makers space', these seem to be extremely valuable additions to any RBE-TA. Of course the management structure will be as horizontal as possible with deviations being as democratic as possible. (Students of course can enroll for periods as short as minutes or as long as years.) When enrolling in an RBE-TA one is expected to bring some tangible resource like food, water, tools, building materials, clothes, etc... which will become shared once across the gates of the RBE-TA.

RBE-TA Masters
Inside the walls of an RBE-TA a master is anyone who holds knowledge and/or skill sets which are uncommon amongst the students of the RBE-TA. Masters are encouraged to share their knowledge freely with as many students as they feel comfortable.

RBE-TA Recruitment
How are we to encourage potential students to enroll in an RBE-TA? Masters can be encouraged to erect RBE-TA training tents in public places. These tents should offer classes on basic skills and propaganda for RBE-TA's and RBE's in general. A side effect of these training tents should be that the public begins to realize what they are capable of. Possible locations particularly well suited for RBE-TA training tents are public campgrounds, festivals, art fairs, company picnics, public parks...
