What we do

A community of like-minded people who decided to move from cities to the countryside and have a sustainable way of life
Zeleni Kruchi ecovillage is an association of eco-homestead owners established on the territory of several neighboring villages in the south of Kyiv region. The basic specialization of the ecovillage is housekeeping and growing food using eco-technologies, as well as organizing and conducting educational and cultural events. Our goal is to be successful, happy and self-realized while living in a community.
Our mission: To manage the land, live in abundance and prosperity through harmonious interaction with each other and with nature, and to share this experience with others.
Our vision: A large, prosperous, eco-conscious community that is developing sustainably, where life is vibrant, where events take place, where good relations between people and effective ways of horizontal interaction are built.
Our values:
– Respect for nature
– Self-sufficiency and sustainability
– Mutual respect, trust, support and responsibility
– Effective communication, empathy, communication and exchange of experience
– Mutual assistance, active life position and positive thinking
– Strong family relationships and harmonious upbringing of children
– Physical, psychological, social and spiritual health
– Community leisure to increase joy in life
The ecovillage was founded in 2012. It is located in a picturesque area.
The ecovillage has infrastructure for events for up to 30 people. There is a common land that is a certified carbon farm.
Spirituality: individual.
The community has its own part-time kindergarten.
Since 2022, Zeleni Kruchi has continued to grow despite living under the constant threat of war, with drones regularly flying overhead. Despite the challenges, the community is a home place that gives the feeling of safety, belonging and relative stability to its members.

La Dimensión Social del Diseño Regenerativo

Are you looking to consciously re-invent cooperative and harmonious ways of living and working together? If so, how do we design solutions for group development, leadership, conflict resolution, decision-making, creativity, social justice and communication? Join Gaia Education’s Social Design for Sustainability course and learn practical effective ways to create the change we all seek. Our distinct programme is your chance to learn about the different ways to participate in this (r)evolutionary shift in paradigms. Our aim is to give you a better understanding of the true meaning of social equity and participatory action, and to enable participants to apply transformative tools that align us with more resilient social systems. Our relationship with others is too dear to let it default to old domineering paradigms. Many of us feel that our current social system is no longer sustainable and that more compassionate and just ways of organising are possible, but what are the alternatives? It is a commonly held belief that there are things individuals can do to change the system or improve their social condition but within the context of a complex global community, the effectiveness of isolated individual action is limited. We all co-create the system in which we live so once we join with others and work for a shared vision to improve the situation in our communities we participate in a powerful force for positive change If you have been part of a group, you already know that one of the most common reasons for failure of group projects is conflict. Conflict is a structural issue in the formation of groups so propagating successful group projects will necessarily entail a healing process in which we step out of the cycles of pain and violence that have run through human history and take responsibility for initiating new patterns. Rediscovering the beauty, compassionate nature and innate power of human beings
