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.

La facilitación

La vida en común en diferentes áreas; El trabajo en colectivo en grupos, empresas o cooperativas; La toma de decisiones compartidas, son expresiones de la realidad social que somos. Liderar es asumir la tarea de cuidar los espacios de cooperación y colaboración entre las personas (entre otras formas verlo). Nuestra cultura, no nos ofrece referencias claras o sólidas para estas labores. Los procesos participativos pueden pasar de ser la expresión de nuestros principios y valores mas queridos, a convertirse en una especie de tragicomedia… o algo peor. La facilitación nos permite prestar atención a los procesos y disponer de medios para afinar nuestra realidad, tanto en el foco de la eficiencia e inteligencia del colectivo; como en el cuidado de las personas. Entendemos que uno de los espacios mas conflictivos es la estructura, más que nada porque en muchos colectivos sencillamente no la creamos. Así mismo, “olvidamos” atender al poder y a los liderazgos necesarios. En esta formación vamos a adentrarnos en los aspectos de estas dificultades con el objetivo de clarificar, explorar, darnos las herramientas útiles, investigar los caminos posibles. A QUIEN VA DIRIGIDA: Esta formación esta diseñada para personas que viven y/o trabajan en colectivos, y a quienes tienen en proyecto hacerlo. Esta encaminada a lograr una comprensión global de los procesos que se desarrollan en un grupo en las áreas de poder y liderazgo. Así como de los procesos y dinámicas que pueden facilitar la toma de decisiones, la comunicación, la organización de la información…para lograr una participación cada vez mayor de las personas como garantía del concepto “compartir el poder, sin diluirlo ni perderlo” QUIEN LA IMPARTE: Mabel Cañada: Facilitadora, 33 años de experiencia en Comunidad. Mauge Cañada. Psicóloga, Mediación en conflictos. Sociocracia. Contacto: la******@***il.com tfno:948392002 preguntar por Mabel.
