Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.

https://www.schumachercollege.org.uk/courses/postgraduate-courses/economics-for-transition There is an urgent need for a radical rethink of our economic system. We need new thinking and new models that recognise the challenges we face now, rather than blindly following the path that has led us into the converging crises we now face. These models will enable us to both mitigate the impacts and adapt to these inter-locking crises – including climate change, biodiversity loss, the peaking in fossil fuel energy supplies, financial instability, food security, poverty and so on. They will be built on an understanding of the complementarity of ecological protection and human flourishing. For 20 years, pioneering thinkers and practitioners have been developing alternative economic ideas, models and experiments that were once considered radical and marginal. As we turn to face a new economic dawn, these theories and practices are now moving centre stage. Why Schumacher College? Since 1991, Schumacher College has been pioneering radical new thinking in economics, attracting leading teachers, practitioners and activists from across the globe. We have inspired and supported thousands of organisations and individuals from many different countries in their quest to achieve a more sustainable and equitable world. In 2011, in response to the deepening economic and related crises, we launched our first postgraduate programme in Economics for Transition in association with the New Economics Foundation, the Transition Network and the Business School at Plymouth University. Now in its fourth year, this partnership offers you an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the cream of radical economic thinking, activism and entrepreneurship globally. Hosted by highly respected radical economists, completed by an unrivalled visiting faculty of teachers and practitioners from across the world, you have a unique chance to join those at the forefront of new economi

Querid@s amig@s, Tenemos el gusto de invitaros al concierto que tendrá lugar el sábado 14 de mayo en el Salón de Actos de la Casa de Cultura Carmen Conde de Majadahonda. Es un concierto con fines benéficos, cuya recaudación irá destinada al proyecto de construcción de una Aldea de la Paz en Grecia, a través de la asociación GEN (Global Ecovillage Network) y de su proyecto refuGEN. RefuGEN es un proyecto nacido de la asociación de varias ecoaldeas españolas, entre ellas Los Portales, y europeas para atender a los refugiados de Siria. Hasta hace pocos meses, su trabajo en Grecia se ha centrado en dos campos de Lesbos (Moryia y Pipka) donde mas de 100 voluntarios han colaborado atendiendo las necesidades de los refugiados y mejorando sus condiciones de vida. El reciente acuerdo entre la Comunidad Europea y Turquía ha tenido entre muchas otras consecuencias el cierre de los campos de Lesbos, pero las situaciones que vemos y vivimos cada día nos mueven a continuar aportando nuestra experiencia en temas de desarrollo, sostenibilidad y convivencia. El proyecto actual es la creación de una primera aldea sostenible (Aldea de la Paz) donde estas personas puedan convivir en condiciones dignas y ofrecer una posible solución a un problema humanitario que se está desbordando. “La aldea de la paz” es una esperanza de vida en la convivencia, el respeto y la diversidad para muchos refugiados que huyen del horror causado por la guerra. Ya tenemos el lugar, el apoyo de las autoridades locales y un numero cada vez mayor de voluntarios para materializar este proyecto. Este concierto es una de las muchas acciones que se están llevando a cabo para financiarlo, ya que solo con la ayuda desinteresada de muchos podremos hacerlo realidad. Os animamos a que os suméis a nosotros en esta ocasión, asistiendo al concierto (si no podéis asistir, también se pueden comprar entradas

Join us in Frelighsburg, QC for a full-time, two-week Permaculture Design Certification. The PDC program follows the internationally recognized curriculum provided by Bill Mollison. During this course, we will observe and follow the natural principles that drive ecological systems. We will learn, through both theory and hands-on practice, how to integrate these principles in designing our lives, homes, lands, and communities. Upon completion of this course, you will obtain your Permaculture Design Certificate. This certification will allow you to pursue a permaculture diploma and give you the fundamentals to begin integrating permaculture principles into your career, life, endeavours or enterprise. This course is held on a 268-acre domain equipped with a private lake, a beautiful little river with a small waterfall, all of which is located 1km from the sacred Abenaki mountain of Mont Pinacle (visible from the house) and 3km away from the charming village core of Frelighsburg, QC. It is 5km away from the Vermont border and thus, easily accessible for our neighbours to the South. The property has a small apple orchard area with 4 different kinds of apples trees growing. The land is partially forested with 2 long walking trails and partly cleared (about 5 acres) for 2 organic agricultural projects. ​ ​The property enjoys lots of sunshine and privacy. And there is a fire pit area with seating and picnic tables. The host will provide some farming tools to share with the participants and you are welcome to bring yours also. There is a canoe and kayak for early morning boating on the lake and there is also the possibility of a small sweat spot near the lake for our PDC guests in August. Our family is thrilled to be sharing our seed farm and indigenous gardening spaces with you! >Price: $1,220 CAD (includes course, materials, food, campsite). Topics: Introduction, ethics, principles Concepts, methods and themes in design Observation of systems and patter
