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.

This year NextGEN-Europe conference will be an event full of opportunities to connect, share inspiration and weave a strong network. Young people from all over Europe will come together! If you are a young person who is somehow involved in the ecovillage network – or you want to be so in the future – we warmly invite you to bring your experience, dreams and being into our conference! Young people who already live in ecovillages/sustainable communities, or those who are involved in sustainable or social projects are especially called. We want to hear your opinion and build connection between us – Europe’s next generation. We will – as the youth organisation of GEN (Global Ecovillage Network) – take almost fully part in the GEN conference, taking place from 9th till 13th of July. For more details about it check: http://gen-europe.org/activities/gen-conference/gen-conference-2014/index.htm NextGEN conference starts 4 days before the GEN conference. In this time we will focus on NextGEN only and work on three main topics: 1. Networking – Hear and connect with each other. Share about our projects. See what is happening in Europe. Build friendships with like-minded people. 2. Get inspiration – Different workshops and speakers will share with us their insights and ideas, giving a way to continue our path of learning and finding our own truth. We will give you a taste of different tools that help us create sustainable communities. 3. Strengthen NextGEN – We will continue discovering and building the potential within the NextGEN Europe movement, look at future activities and start new projects.
