La GEN (Red Global de Ecoaldeas de Europa) se complace en informarles que la 20º edición de su Conferencia estival se desarrollará este año en España, concretamente del 4 al 8 de Julio en la comunidad de Arterra Bizimodu en Artieda, Navarra. El evento es abierto a todos los públicos. Como todos los años, unas 400 personas llegadas de todas las ecoaldeas de Europa se reunirán para intercambiar experiencias, talleres, charlas y trabajos prácticos sobre los diferentes aspectos de la vida en comunidad. Temas como son las economías alternativas, la soberanía alimentaria, las energías renovables, gestión de relaciones humanas, facilitación de grupos, modelos de gobernanza, procesos de toma de decisiones colectivas, bioarquitectura y activismo político: una agenda inspiradora y diversa. Los participantes podrán elegir entre asistir a las talleres monotemáticos, talleres prácticos o profundizar más en algún tema a través de talleres que contarán con varias sesiones. Habrán mesas redondas y participativas sobre diferentes temas. También, durante todo el encuentro, se montará una feria/exposición (ESTEXPO) de los diferentes inventos, artilugios y soluciones técnicas sustentables que se utilizan en las comunidades para afrontar los retos del Cambio Climático y de la escasez de las materias primas. En paralelo, habrá oportunidades de compartir con los miembros de la Red Europea, y de otras redes afines (permaculture, Pueblos en Transición, Gaia, movimiento Agroecológico,etc), mercadillo, noches de espectáculos y más sorpresas. La GEN (Global Ecovillage Network) fue fundada hace 20 años y cuenta con representación en más de 100 países de los 5 continentes. Gen Europa es una red que conecta, sostiene y difunde el trabajo de las ecoaldeas y comunidades. Las ecoaldeas constituyen uno de los pocos modelos viables de desarrollo sostenible.
