About me

Xóm Permaculture
(English Below)
Dự án
Xóm là một tổ chức phi lợi nhuận và do thành viên điều hành, được thành lập vào năm 2018 tại Bắc Cầu, Việt Nam. Cách tổ chức của chúng tôi bao gồm tình nguyện viên, chuyên gia và nghệ sĩ, những người làm việc cho một số hoạt động và dự án Xóm khác nhau, tại Việt Nam và các nơi khác.
3 đạo đức của Permaculture được nêu ra trong cuốn “Hướng dẫn thiết kế” của Mollison:
– Bảo vệ trái đất: Cung cấp cho tất cả các hệ sinh thái để tiếp tục và nhân rộng. Đây là nguyên tắc đầu tiên, bởi vì nếu không có một trái đất khỏe mạnh, con người không thể sinh tồn và phát triển.
– Bảo vệ con người: Cung cấp cho người dân cách tiếp cận các nguồn lực cần thiết cho sự tồn tại của họ.
– Thiết lập các giới hạn dân số và tiêu dùng: Bằng cách điều chỉnh các nhu cầu của cá nhân, chúng ta có thể đặt các nguồn lực sang một bên để tiếp tục các nguyên tắc trên. Luận cứ thứ ba đôi khi được gọi là Fair Share, phản ánh rằng mỗi người trong chúng ta không nên lấy đi nhiều hơn những gì chúng ta cần trước khi chúng ta tái đầu tư thặng dư.
Xóm Bắc Cầu – Vuon
Đây là nơi các bạn nhỏ được thỏa thích tham gia các hoạt động vui chơi, sinh hoạt ngoại khóa, học ngoại ngữ, hoạt động ngoài trời và tìm hiểu về thiên nhiên với vườn rau và vườn cây ăn trái.
Xóm Bắc Cầu là không gian cộng đồng kết nối hai thế hệ với những hoạt động thú vị phù hợp cho các lứa tuổi. Tại đây, trẻ em được vui chơi và phụ huynh có thể cùng nhau tạo ra những sản phẩm bằng gỗ, những dụng cụ dùng trong gia đình, hay chiêm ngưỡng các tác phẩm nghệ thuật tại các buổi triển lãm, thử nghiệm những hoạt động thú vị như rửa bát bằng cát, xây nhà bằng đất.
Tuy mới được thành lập hơn một năm, nhưng khu vườn thiên nhiên rộng hơn 4.000m2 của xóm Bắc Cầu đã là sân chơi quen thuộc cho cả trẻ em và người lớn, người Việt cũng như người nước ngoài, một vùng đất đón chào sự sáng tạo, cởi mở, học hỏi và thân thiện nằm ngay giữa thủ đô Hà Nội.

Project
Xóm is a non-profit and member-driven organization founded in 2018 in Bac Cau, Vietnam. Our governance is organized around volunteering, professionals and artists, who are involved in different Permaculture’s activities and projects, in Vietnam and belong…
The 3 ethics on which the whole of Permaculture build are articulated in Mollison’s “A Designers’ Manual”:
– Care for the earth: Provision for all systems to continue and multiply (soil, forest, water and air)
– Care for people: Provision for people to access those resources necessary for their existence (individual, community and future generations)
– Return of surplus: To those two goals, if there is extra of something, use it either to help people or help the Earth, never waste it.
Xóm Bắc Cầu – Garden

FOUNDING MEMBERS WANTED – OFF-GRID COMMUNITY – EASTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA

Ecovillage Network logo with green leaves inside a circle.
I am looking to bring together 6–8 like-minded couples to create a small, self-sufficient, off-grid community in the Eastern Cape., South Africa. Rather than buying land first and then looking for people to join, the idea is to form the founding group first and choose the land together. By combining our resources, skills and experience, we may be able to secure a better property and create something that genuinely suits the whole group. This is intended as a long-term community, not a holiday retreat. It will involve work, responsibility, cooperation and a willingness to learn and contribute. We are particularly interested in retired or semi-retired couples without dependants who are still physically capable and have practical skills or experience in areas such as: Farming, food growing or permaculture • Livestock • Solar, electrical, IT and off-grid systems .  Water farming and Waste management • Mechanical/engines/general maintenance • Healthcare or nursing • Project management, organisation and conflict resolve Each couple would be expected to bring both a useful skill/experience and a financial contribution. The exact structure and investment would be developed collectively by the founding group, with appropriate legal agreements protecting everyone’s interests and possibly managed under a professionally set up Trust Fund There would also be a trial/assessment period before a commitment. The most important thing is finding the right people — practical, trustworthy, respectful and genuinely interested in building a simpler, sustainable life together. If this sounds like something you would seriously consider, please get in touch and tell me a little about yourselves, your skills, your current situation and why this lifestyle appeals to you. The land hasn’t been bought yet — that’s deliberate. Let’s find the right people first, and then find the right place together. I can be contacted on- Ke******@***oo.com I’m eagerly waiting to hear from you

IERI (International Ecovillage Research Institute) Research Lab

Logo of the Global Ecovillage Network with a stylized flower design.
The Research Lab is a new space for connection, exchange, and inspiration, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and students interested in ecovillages and regenerative communities. Our intention is to create a vibrant laboratory where we can learn from one another, strengthen collaborations, and advance collective knowledge. 📅 Date: Wednesday September 23rd🕓 Time: 10:30 Brazil / 13:30 UTC / 15:30 CEST (1.5 hour) Zoom link: https://unibas.zoom.us/j/61404061682   Register Here: https://unibas.zoom.us/meeting/register/io_jg3SJQGqRAaIi0eXazw Transitions towards the pluriverse: Place, difference, alliances and autonomy in two Latin American ecovillages Presented by Dr. Rebeca Roysen Professor at the Graduate Program in Tourism and Hospitality, Co-leader of the Sustainability Transitions and the Pluriverse of Alternatives (TranS-PlurAL) research group, Universidade do Vale do Itajaí (UNIVALI), Brazil This study proposes an alternative analytical framework for sustainability transitions research by drawing on critical scholarship on grassroots innovations and post-development studies. Rather than focusing on scalable innovations and socio-technical regime change, it introduces the concept of Transitions Towards the Pluriverse (TTP)—a bottom-up, decolonial, and context-sensitive approach that recognizes the diversity of transition pathways and places local communities and grassroots innovations at the center of transformations. Through two case studies of Latin American ecovillages, Dr. Roysen explores four key analytical dimensions—place, difference, alliances, and autonomy—to examine how ecovillages promote (or sometimes fail to promote) transitions towards the pluriverse. Whether you are an experienced researcher, a practitioner, or a student beginning your journey, you are warmly welcome to join us. We look forward to learning, exchanging ideas, and building this community together. Recent publications by Dr. Rebeca Roysen Roysen, R., Pereira Prado, M. M., Bruehwiler, N., Kos, L., & Koehrsen, J.
