Exploring the design and development methods, lifestyles, and impacts of ecovillages and the ecovillage movement through systematised research is extremley relevant in today’s world. It continues to evoke increasingly more interest in the mainstream world as people tune into the potential ecovillages can offer the future world we desire and need.
GEN and other networks are collaborating with universities and researchers from around the globe to dive deep into this learning and to pull out patterns and wider implications. This collection of learnings will give you an impression of the richness of work within the GEN research group and the ecovillage movement as a whole. We highlight the voices to known and experienced ecovillage researchers which share their knowledge and insights within their field of research.
The resources and stories gathered here are for a range of audiences:
This learning journey includes approximately 7 hours of presentations to view in your own time as well as the possibility to post comments to interact with other participants. You can also find further resources and links to dive deeper into ecovillage research!
It was inpsired by a group of committed researchers in collaboration with the YEEES Project* organized a series of International Research Colloquiums on Ecovillages and Resilient Lifestyles.

If you are just getting to know GEN, we recommend you start with the GEN Intro course which will give you the frame of how the network and organisation flow.
A live course will be offered at set times and invites you to engage with a facilitator and other participants. A self-paced course means you can engage in the content as your schedule allows. We also offer courses where you engage in the content yourself and then join gently facilitated group discussions to connect with others.
Visit the Community Events page to see what is available or contact your region.
