Ecovillage Excellency Award, 2014, Goes to Taneeb Farm/Global Campus, Palestine, and Aurora Community, Romania

by

Since this year the Ecovillage Excellency award is split into a European and an international project, with each of the projects receiving 1500 Euros. The international project will be awarded at the Ecovillage Summit in December, in Senegal, Africa. The audience of the GEN Europe conference this year decided to award the European prize to the Taneeb Farm in Palestine, and Aida Shibli´s initiatives for the Global Campus, Palestine. However, since the fresh and thriving Aurora community in Romania came a very close second, Ruth Andrade donated the same amount of money from Paulo Mellet´s legacy. So we can say that this year we have two awarded projects in Europe.
