About the Organizations

What we do

Uba Qynza is learning community in constant co-creation of a living space, cared for and prepared for the respectful development, coexistence, and exploration of girls and boys in a multi-age group between the ages of 5 and 12 years of age. Mothers, fathers and teachers actively participate in the operation of the project and are committed to their ability to grow and evolve in the service of life.
Our name is in the Mhuysqa language, the ancient language of this territory; in English it means Hummingbird Seed. Our purpose is making alive a pedagogy based on Care; care for the seed, care for life, children and the territory we inhabit. This education seeks to accompany children so that they find the deep knowledge of life that lives in them and help them raise their flight listening to the voice of their own heart and inner guidance.
We were born within Aldeafeliz Ecovillage and thanks to this support we watch over the learning processes of everyone involved, in an environment nurtured by the right conditions for curiosity, play, learning and the love for life. Today we are an independent community that drives inspiration and concrete tools and practices from the ecovillage principles and network.

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.

NextGEN Conference 2014

This year NextGEN-Europe conference will be an event full of opportunities to connect, share inspiration and weave a strong network. Young people from all over Europe will come together! If you are a young person who is somehow involved in the ecovillage network – or you want to be so in the future – we warmly invite you to bring your experience, dreams and being into our conference! Young people who already live in ecovillages/sustainable communities, or those who are involved in sustainable or social projects are especially called. We want to hear your opinion and build connection between us – Europe’s next generation. We will – as the youth organisation of GEN (Global Ecovillage Network) – take almost fully part in the GEN conference, taking place from 9th till 13th of July. For more details about it check: http://gen-europe.org/activities/gen-conference/gen-conference-2014/index.htm NextGEN conference starts 4 days before the GEN conference. In this time we will focus on NextGEN only and work on three main topics: 1. Networking – Hear and connect with each other. Share about our projects. See what is happening in Europe. Build friendships with like-minded people. 2. Get inspiration – Different workshops and speakers will share with us their insights and ideas, giving a way to continue our path of learning and finding our own truth. We will give you a taste of different tools that help us create sustainable communities. 3. Strengthen NextGEN – We will continue discovering and building the potential within the NextGEN Europe movement, look at future activities and start new projects.
