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.

El Centro de Formación e Investigación en Eco Tecnología de la comunidad Los Portales organiza un taller, en marzo 2015, para aprender a construir un AEROGENERADOR de tipo «PIGGOTT». Hugh Piggott, su inventor, es pionero en la auto-construcción de generadores eólicos y experto en mini eólica. Ha desarrollado un aerogenerador sencillo, eficiente y sólido, que se realiza con materiales accesibles y herramientas básicas. OBJETIVO del taller : aprender a diseñar y construir su proprio aerogenerador Este tipo de aerogenerador se conecta a la red o se utiliza como sistema autónomo (carga de baterías). Se pueden construir aerogeneradores de 1,2 hasta 4,5 metros de diámetro de hélice (de 200 W hasta 2 kW). El taller se compone de 2 módulos separados, durante los cuales vamos a construir un aerogenerador de 4,5m. Es posible participar en los 2 o solo en uno : 1er módulo : de lunes 2/03 a viernes 6/03/15 2do módulo : de lunes 16/03 a viernes 20/03/15 Condiciones y Precio: Lugar : Finca Los Portales (taller equipado) – 
Castilblanco de Los Arroyos (50 km al Norte de Sevilla) Número de participantes : entre 10 y 12 personas El 1er módulo está abierto a todos los interesados, tengan o no una experiencia. Para asistir al 2do módulo, se aconseja haber participado en el primero, o conocer los fundamentos teóricos y prácticos de la energía eólica. Precio de cada módulo, media-pensión

The Second Home Community of Lifechanyuan is looking for permacuture or natural farming experts to help them restore saline-alkaline land for one of their properties in the western most part of China, and to transform it to a beautiful and fertile farm that is to provide its residents with abundant organic foods. It would be also good if this farm can be developed ecologically into a favorable habitat for plants and animals. li**********@**na.cn
