October 11, 2018

[Spanish version follows below]

Nashira Ecovillage in Colombia is the winner of the 2018 Hildur Jackson Award for Extraordinary Project. Together with Gaia Trust, GEN developed the Hildur Jackson Award, a €3,000 annual prize that supports and honours projects around the world that demonstrate regenerative best-practices in all dimensions of sustainability. The prize is awarded to projects bringing the most impactful inspiration about ecovillages/ecovillage lifestyles to a broad audience, and Nashira was particularly recognized this year for their accomplishment of opening up their community to visitors to learn about sustainable agriculture, use of waste materials for art, and share cooking and dance classes. Congratulations to Nashira Ecovillage!
