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

This Year’s Conference promises an amazing lineup of offerings, from innovative approaches to developing new and affordable communities, to potent ways to enhance our vibrant communities. We will cover cohousing basics as well as hot topics in sustainability, community building, and the evolving definition of cohousing. Our “next generation theme” will explore the new wave of urban, senior and agricultural communities, check-in with our now-adult children of cohousing, and celebrate communities that have thrived for over 20 years. A packed program, but the conference allows plenty of time for networking, tours of cohousing communities, and fun! Next Generation Themes: The now-adult, children of cohousing The next wave of urban, rural and senior cohousing Emerging trends in financing, design and community models The evolving definition of cohousing Cohousing as a model for other communities nationally Established communities celebrating 20+ years Since the first American cohousing communities were completed in the early 1990’s, more than 135 communities have been built, with more than a hundred in process. Small and large, urban and rural, newly built and retrofits, these communities have consistently been at the forefront creating environmentally and socially sustainable neighborhoods.
