What we do

„EarthYou“
is a non-profit organization funded as an association in Portugal called „Associação Aldeia Ecológica EarthYou“. The name stands for the growth of a sustainable lifestyle in tune with nature, getting back to the roots, decreasing the velocity of todays’ life, for Earth, for You…Earth You!
We are
a sustainably thinking group with currently 10 members.
Among the members we have qualifications within the hotel and restaurant industries, elderly and child care, art and culture, business administration, landscape architecture, skills in agriculture and self-sufficiency and a vast competence in networking, communications and administration.
Through years’ of friendship we have developed the vision to live together in a small community in tune with nature.
Our major goal
is to raise a sustainable eco-village with own social facilities and a choice of educational programs in combination with ecotourism. Self-supplying with food is a key part of our activities herein. The homes will be completely built out of ecologically degradable materials, the water and energy supply and its disposal will be brought into a natural circulation without harming nature.
The community will strive for the common interest and to be open towards the outside, through different workshops, educational events and a selection of social activities, like day care for children and elderly care.
This settlement would function as a center of nature protection, culture, social diversity, education and community. Welcoming guests to these kinds of events ensures the right inflow of interested people.
Our group currently provides almost all needed competences to succeed. The community will develop in these next couple of years on its own property in Portugal, not exceeding 20 members. We are aware of the process before us and are ready to dedicate our lives to this project.
Currently
we are organizing ourselves as an association in Portugal.
Decisions are made together on frequent gatherings.
The suitable spot is already found, a paradise of a piece of land in South Portugal, which is perfect for exactly our project. Negotiations are already running and we have got green light to place the first headstone for our future in 2016!

Zambia - Ecovillage Development Training

The Ecovillage Development Programme inspires communities not only to adapt to Climate Change but also to improve their quality of life and lift them towards resilience. GEN inspires local authorities and governments to include ecovillage development programmes in their strategies for the implementation of SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement. We have learned that, while there is no one way of being an ecovillage, there are 3 core practises shared by all: Being rooted in local participatory processes Integrating social, cultural, economic and ecological dimensions in whole systems approach to sustainability Actively restoring and regenerating their social and natural environments Together, we will Explore the ecovillage concept and the work and contributions of different types of ecovillages across the world Understand ecovillage development as a tool for climate change adaptation and reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals Become familiar with a framework for holistic sustainability grounded in decades of hands-on experience and design of resilient communities worldwide Practice participatory whole-systems design, using the Ecovillage Playing Cards Explore assets, needs and potential next steps of a group, project or community in each dimension of sustainability Select specific learning areas (demand driven training) e.g. community building skills, seed multiplication, social entrepreneurship, water catchment systems, etc. to dive into You can choose to join us only for the first week or for the whole training.

Asamblea, 2000

A la asamblea constituyente de Madrid acudieron los siguientes colectivos: Amayuelas (Palencia), La Carrucha Cultural (Huesca), La Osa (Asturias), Permacultura Montsant (Tarragona), Valdepiélagos (Madrid), Matavenero (León), La Garrotxa (Girona), Vettonia (Salamanca), Jardines de Acuario (Murcia), GEA, Bajo el Asfalto está la Huerta (Madrid), Cosas de la Luna (Madrid), Mas Noguera (Castellón). No estuvieron en la reunión, pero manifestaron su deseo de pertenecer a la Red: Los Arenalejos (Málaga), Más Lluerna (Lérida), El Pardal (Jaén), Habioclima (Lérida), Valberzoso (Palencia), As.Macrobiótica PAM (Huesca), Equi-libre (Tarragona). En la reunión se decidió hacer una página web, que se instalaría en el servidor del GEN Europa. Los contenidos de la página incluirán información de los proyectos existentes y otras informaciones útiles para la Red y para las personas de fuera. Todavía pendiente de hacer. La Red tomará el nombre de Red Ibérica de Ecoaldeas, RIE. Se han hecho contactos con personas de Portugal que están dentro del movimiento de ecoaldeas y no han puesto ningún reparo al nombre, aunque consideran prematuro unirse a la RIE. De momento prefieren formar la Red portuguesa de ecoaldeas. Se decidió también formar parte de la Red Global de Ecoaldeas, GEN Europa, con la que ya teníamos contactos. La Carrucha (ahora Selba) lleva la coordinación entre la RIE y el GEN Europa. Ulysses informó de que el directorio de ecoaldeas estaba prácticamente terminado. Sólo faltan algunas fotos y algunos datos. Se recordó a todos los miembros de la RIE que contamos con dos revistas impresas, La Osa y GEA (a partir del otoño de 2001, GEA desaparece y tendremos en su lugar una revista de mayor tirada para la difusión de la RIE: ReHabitar). Por último se decidió que el siguiente encuentro sería en la ecoaldea Los Arenalejos (Málaga), del 23 al 26 de agosto de 2001.
