Autumn 2017 Permaculture Design Course 23 September – 5 October (12 days, 80 hours certificate) Led by Andrew Jordan and Elena Symeonidou We are excited to announce the second FULL PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE (PDC) that will be hosted in Tinos Eco-lodge with two knowledgeable teachers Andrew Jordan from Ireland and Elena Symeonidou from Greece. The Permaculture Design Certificate The Permaculture Design Certificate is an 80 hour theoretical course based on Bill Mollison’s Designers Manual, teaching how we can use today’s tools and technology to create a more sustainable world. Permaculture is not only about growing vegetables and animals, it is a whole sustainable lifestyle. Permaculture ethics are Earth Care, People Care and Return of Surplus and this is taught by showing students to focus on local resources and their local community, and to have well thought out design practices to create abundance sustainably. Andrew and Elena aim at inspiring students with their own very real examples of transforming their lives with permaculture in a contemporary context. Having worked in a broad spectrum of climate and social conditions, they will share with their students the thrills but also the challenges they faced. Oftentimes permaculture is being presented as a panacea for world problems and the road to resilience and abundance is depicted as straightforward and easy. Andrew and Elena will challenge this notion and try to prepare their students in a realistic manner for their own fascinating journey towards change. Nikos will share his hands-on experience of building the ecolodge and designing the energy, water, plant and waste systems. We will have the rare opportunity to discuss and elaborate on Nikos’ and Marilia’s choices on different aspects of their project, reflect on the challenges, opportunities and limitations. Anyone who wants to bring a big change in his life and gain a thorough understanding of how we can use our natural e

Date: Saturday, February 7 Time: 12:00–13:30 UTC Join us for a transformative 90-minute webinar exploring how communities can reclaim credit and money systems to serve regenerative futures. Drawing on wisdom from pioneers like Margaret Kennedy, Ross Jackson, and the Zapatistas, alongside proven models from organizations like STRO and the State Bank of North Dakota, we’ll examine the root structures of our current economic system and discover pathways toward mutualized, community-based alternatives. This interactive gathering brings together voices from the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) and regenerative movements worldwide to explore how credit—when controlled by communities rather than private interests—can become a powerful tool for social and ecological transformation. Through presentations, dialogue, breakout reflections, and collective sensing, we’ll investigate what it means to build trust-based economic systems that flow resources where they’re truly needed. Whether you’re an ecovillage member, community organizer, or someone curious about economic alternatives, this webinar offers practical insights, inspiring case studies, and an opportunity to connect with a global network committed to systemic change. We’ll also introduce new collaborative platforms designed to strengthen our interconnected movement.

The Communities for Future Summit is an entirely free, online experience hosted by the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN). From the 1 to 10 February 2020 we will daily unlock 3 interviews with well known thought leaders, change makers, indigenous elders, community lovers and youth activists from around the planet. During the Summit, we will explore: Systemic change – a complete transformation of our human institutions and workplaces, Inner change – the inner healing that is needed in order for us to heal our relationships to the world around us; Change on the Ground – how communities around the planet are already becoming space of regeneration; and Youth Change – the young people who are taking to the streets, raising their voices and demanding climate justice for future generations. Together, we will engage in finding our authentic response to the Climate Emergency, a response that is not driven by urgency, fear, panic and hurry, but comes from a deep sense of connectedness, love and responsibility. Young people are taking to the streets, demanding that we all take urgent action on the climate and planetary crisis. GEN is picking up the baton and inviting all of us to manifest the needed change now, protecting, restoring and transforming in our communities, municipalities and countries. Let’s build Communities for Future. Let’s find our response to the Climate Emergency. Please join us.

II Encuentro de Ecoaldeas En el II Encuentro Estatal de Ecoaldeas, celebrado en Artosilla en agosto de 1999, se avanzó considerablemente en la creación de una red de ecoaldeas, al permitir que nos conociéramos unos cuantos colectivos que, en diferentes lugares de la geografía española, estamos trabajando en esta línea. Sin embargo, por ser todavía pocos y por hallarnos todavía en una fase muy inicial, en la última asamblea celebrada en dicho Encuentro se decidió mantener de momento una estructura de coordinación mínima —que recaía por otra parte en la Carrucha Cultural— y esperar que el movimiento de ecoaldeas se fuera consolidando en todo el territorio español antes de crear una verdadera red. También se decidió, que dado que la palabra “ecoaldea” es de uso muy reciente, y algunos colectivos ya llevan trabajando en líneas similares desde hace años, se podría ampliar la red a otro tipo de comunidades sostenibles, como colectividades rurales, comunas urbanas y rurales, municipios o pueblos ecológicos, cooperativas de viviendas, comunidades de desarrollo personal, etc., siempre que se hallen predispuestas a avanzar en la consecución de los requisitos mínimos de ecoaldea. No existen ecoaldeas perfectas, ni en España ni en ningún otro país europeo, y por tanto no se trata de que los colectivos que quieran unirse a la red ibérica de ecoaldeas lo sean completamente. Basta con que haya en ellos una intención de avanzar en el desarrollo de comunidades sostenibles. En Artosilla, los siguientes colectivos constituyeron el germen de la futura Red Ibérica de Ecoaldeas: • Cooperativa de viviendas Valdepiélagos (Madrid) — so********@***ix.net • Asociación La Osa (Asturias) —as********@***sa.org • Municipio ecológico de Amayuelas de Abajo (Palencia) — ce****@********os.es • Asociación La Semilla (Cádiz) — gr*****@***oo.es • Proyecto de Cooperación Nueva Tierra (Sevilla) — qu*****@*******ok.net • Instituto de Permacultura Montsant (Tarragona) — wa**@**ac.es • A
