What we do

Magdeburg, state capital of Saxony-Anhalt and one of the greenest cities in Germany, located between Hanover and Berlin, is home of Vitopia. Vitopia is both a group of people and a special place in one of the city’s oldest landscape parks, the Herrenkrugpark.
Vitopia has:
– a café with fairtrade / regional / ecological menu and room for parties, seminars and team meetings – a place to stay and enjoy
– shared living space
– a simple hostel
The community at Vitopia lives together resource-saving in everyday life and offers seminars e.g. on climate change, for individuals and groups. Opportunities for action on climate protection can be experienced locally. The Community at Vitopia shows that CO2 emissions can be reduced to one third of the geman average. This is done through the consistent and moderate use of proven climate-friendly technologies and options for action.
Vitopia – a place for PERSONAL MEETINGS, LIVING HISTORY, CULTURE IN NATURE and ecological, political as well as solidary commitment.

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.
