What we do

Qinglong Manchu Autonomous County is a Manchu autonomous county of northeastern Hebei province, China, bordering Liaoning to the north and east and located in the eastern part of the Yan Mountains. It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Qinhuangdao, and, as of 2004, had a population of 520,000 residing in an area of 3,309 km2 (1,278 sq mi). Da Sen Dian village is located in Gehetou town. Da Sen Dian Village lies between two deep valleys. The entire village has a total of 246 households and 828 residents. Most residents get their income from cultivation of apple and pear fruit trees.
At present, there is a lack of comprehensive rural sustainable development training in rural areas. At present, adult training is mostly single-item, with the aim of developing the economy to “get rich”. The training targets are mainly concentrated on planters, farmers and migrant workers, and lack of attention to the needs of different groups such as women and the elderly. Rural adult education needs to be adjusted as soon as possible to adapt to the real needs of rural population structure change and rural development transformation.
This program develops important issues of sustainable development into adult training courses. Creating a sustainable rural village by cultivating rural sustainable development talents. Helping “village rejuvenation” and “precision out of poverty.”
Current projects include Da Sen Dian Green Eco Primary School, Women’s Community Center, and Seniors’ Association.

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.
