What we do

Instituto e Ecovila
Nós vivemos na serra gaúcha, Rio Grande do Sul, 2 horas de Porto Alegre, perto de um belo lago, em uma comunidade muito ativa. Nossas principais atividades são os cursos e oficinas, agricultura orgânica e economia local, bioconstrução e atividades sócio-culturais. Agora, temos 16 membros, e pretendemos ter 60 máximo. Damos as boas-vindas para todas as pessoas interessadas, especialmente empreendedores, pessoas com habilidades em bioconstrução, comércio, terapeutas holísticos e produtores orgânicos e agricultores. Há nove casas distribuidas em 25 ha, e nós estamos fazendo agora um design permacultural para a nossa terra. Nós oferecemos visitas guiadas com agendamento e temos um programa de voluntariado. O Instituto Arca Verde foi fundado em 2005 por um grupo de pessoas com uma visão em comum, e desde então construimos uma das ecovilas mais fortes no sul do Brasil, em conjunto com a experiência coletiva de uma maneira completamente diferente de viver, que ainda está em desenvolvimento em conformidade com o meio ambiente local. Faz parte de nossa visão de trabalhar com todos os princípios da permacultura, bioconstrução, agroflorestas, consumo consciente, as ferramentas sociais como fórum e comunicação não-violenta, a economia local com a nossa própria moeda, empoderamento e consenso, educação libertária, ecologia profunda, tudo junto em um ambiente social descontraído e harmonioso.

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.
