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.

Von 1986 bis 2012 sind in der Region Kassel 4 Gemeinschaften entstanden: die Kommune Niederkaufungen, die Villa Locomuna in Kassel, die gASTWERKe in Escherode und der Lossehof in Oberkaufungen. Alle Gruppen basieren auf den Grundsätzen Gemeinsame Ökonomie und Konsens bei der Entscheidungsfindung und sind Teil des KommuJa-Netzwerkes der politischen Kommunen. Im Laufe der Jahre haben sich die 4 Gemeinschaften immer mehr vernetzt und gemeinsame Projekte auf den Weg gebracht: das „Los geht´s!“, die „Solidarische Landwirtschaft“ und andere gruppenübergreifende Arbeitskollektive. Das Seminar stellt das Leben in einer Kommune am Beispiel der vier Gemeinschaften vor. Es sollen die Gemeinsamkeiten der Gruppen, ihre unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkte und individuellen Wege betrachtet werden. Angesprochen sind an Kommunen interessierte Menschen und solche, die sich schon konkret überlegen in eine der vier Gemeinschaften einzusteigen oder eventuell eine weitere Gruppe in der Region zu gründen. Vorgestellt werden Perspektiven der einzelnen Gruppen, leer stehende Fachwerkhäuser und Neubaugebiete in der Region, wo Co-Housing-Projekte oder andere Gemeinschaftsprojekte initiiert werden könnten.
