What we do

Bulemba Rwenzori Ecovillage Limited (BREV) started as a community based organization by the name of Bulemba Community Tourism and Conservation Association in 2019 by a group of concerned citizens to strike a balance between development, conservation and tourism.
Later in 2021 it was fully incorporated under the laws of Uganda Reg. No. 80020003659880 and transformed to Bulemba Rwenzori Ecovillage Limited (BREV) aiming at championing conservation of the biodiversity, by providing practical solutions to the growing challenges that nature face. BREV integrate indigenous knowledge and positive cultural values in the conservation of nature working directly with grassroots groups in the region.

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.

Mujeres que dialogan

Eres mujer, caminas en la vida, en algunos momentos te sientes sola… Despertemos juntas facetas que están dormidas y escondidas por miedos, por lĂ­mites… Hagámoslo con arte y salero, risas y lágrimas. Te proponemos recorrer el camino con encuentros mensuales para compartir y explorar juntas lo que nos mueve, nos emociona, nos duele, nos preocupa y nos hace reĂ­r aquĂ­ y ahora. “Las personas más bellas con las que me he encontrado son aquellas que han conocido la derrota, conocido el sufrimiento, conocido la lucha, conocido la pĂ©rdida, y han encontrado su forma de salir de las profundidades. Estas personas tienen una apreciaciĂłn, una sensibilidad y una comprensiĂłn de la vida que nos llena de compasiĂłn, humildad y una profunda inquietud amorosa. La gente bella no surge de la nada.” Elisabeth KĂĽbler-Ross ÂżQuiĂ©nes somos? Somos cuatro mujeres amigas, artistas, escritoras y terapeutas que llevamos veinte años compartiendo un camino de exploraciĂłn interior a travĂ©s de los sueños, el arte y el teatro. De esta vivencia que compartimos surgiĂł el deseo de abrirnos a otras mujeres. El compartir te lleva a descubrir quiĂ©n eres, cuál es tu esencia, cuál es tu color, tu huella en el mundo. A travĂ©s de actividades como el teatro, la visualizaciĂłn o la creatividad dialogaremos con nosotras mismas y con el grupo, ensanchando la percepciĂłn de nuestras esencias. Fechas: sábado 24 de octubre, sábado 21 de noviembre y sábado 19 de diciembre. Horario: 10:00 a 13:00 Precio: 20€/sesiĂłn Contactos: Claire Suanzes – cl***********@***oo.es – 659 884 354 Neus Valls – ne*************@***oo.es – 676 053 759 Centro Crealliance – Avda de la Victoria, 73 – 28023 Madrid – www.crealliance.net
