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.

Taller de Fermentos y Probióticos.

En este Taller aprenderemos a preparar alimentos y bebidas fermentadas con cualidades probióticas; y degustaremos una selección de estos. ¿POR QUE NOS PUEDE INTERESAR? – Por que los fermentos y probióticos ayudan a mejorar nuestra salud, digestión y sistema inmunológico. – Para aprovechar el exceso de verduras de temporada y evitar que se echen a perder. – Para restaurar una cultura de autosuficiencia, sabiduría y legado cultural – Es permacultura, microbiología y biodiversidad en nuestro cuerpo y en nuestra cocina ¿QUE HAREMOS? El taller será muy practico. Compartiremos recetas y las realizaremos in situ. – Panes: de fermentación lenta sin amasar, “pan de bolsa”, pan de legumbres. – Masa madre – Fermentos de verduras: chukrut, kimchi.. – Bebidas fermentadas: kéfir de agua, kombucha, rejuvelac – Yogur, también yogur de leche de soja – También hablaremos de otros como: alcaparras, tempeh, gachas de avena, etc… Hablaremos del proceso de cada uno, su procedencia, historia, sus beneficios para nuestra salud y la mejor forma de tomarlo. – Descubriremos porque el proceso de fermentación consigue que los alimentos resulten más digeribles y nutritivos. – Y la microflora de los fermentados nos protege de organismos potencialmente peligrosos y enseña a nuestro sistema inmunológico a funcionar bien. – Y que significa Ecoinmunonutrición. A las 14.00 disfrutaremos de una deliciosa comida vegetariana y ecológica, que incluirá numerosos de estos fermentos. Mientras podremos continuar hablando de cocina y alimentación: germinados, postres crudos, etc… Por la tarde, después de un rato para descansar, realizaremos una Visita guiada a Los Molinos. Esta es una aldea particular, ya que esta desconectada de la red del agua y la luz, las casas funcionan con energía solar, tienen huertas ecológicas, etc… En la aldea se encuentran además otros proyectos interesantes como Sunseed, La Pita Escuela y El Mirador.
