The Global Ecovillage Network invites for a time of knowledge transfer, sharing, collaboration and networking. A movement is picking upmomentum: new ecovillages and communities in the countryside and in cities emerge worldwide and existing ones keep on growing. In the global south traditional villages adopt strategies of social and environmental sustainability – and as a result a fair, equal exchange between North and South comes about. Considering the economic and social crises and considering the poverty or urban loneliness more and more people are joining together to take over mutual responsibility for their region, their environment, their resources and their children. They learn from the experiences of many existing ecovillages about decentralized energy autonomy, about organic farming, about decision-making in communities, regional economics, and much more. At the 19th GEN Europe conference representatives and interested persons of ecovillages and communities across Europe meet, to network with each other and with other movements. The conference is open to community seekers and community representatives , activists from development- and environmental organizations , experts on decentralized solutions in economy, ecology and social knowledge as well as simply for people, who look for a better life. am***********@********pe.org

La Escuela de Bioconstrucción Los Guindales propone un aprendizaje practico de bioconstrucción durante todo el año, en la finca de la ecoaldea Los Guindales (Algatocín – Málaga). Para mejorar las instalaciones del proyecto, vamos a construir un taller de carpintería. Durante el mes de agosto, lanzamos un llamamiento excepcional para poder avanzar la armadura con madera redonda. Se van a cuadrar troncos, a trazar en el suelo las varias piezas para luego trazar en las piezas mismas las cotas importantes, a cortar las piezas haciéndoles encajes tradicionales, a montar y a levantar los cinco pórticos previstos. Vamos a seguir la misma organización grupal que solemos tener ; hacemos turnos diarios de cocina, trabajamos de las 8h a las 10h, desayunamos hasta las 11h, y seguimos luego hasta el almuerzo a las 14h. Por la tarde seguiremos trabajando unas dos horas. Paralelamente, estamos cuidando una huerta y tres cabras. Para mas info sobre nuestra rutina y condiciones os dejo el enlace a seguir. https://escueladebioconstruccionlosguindales.wordpress.com/formacion/ Aquí somos un equipo fijo de cuatro personas llevando la escuela. Siembre habrán un mínimo de dos personas con experiencia para llevar el taller del mes de agosto. Tenéis a disposición un terreno grande para poner tiendas de campana, también hay una yurta según las disponibilidades. Pedimos una aportación de 120 euros para el mes entero o 70 euros para dos semanas para cubrir los gastos de comida. Caso tengan cualquier duda, no hesiten en hacérnosla saber. Pueden contactarnos a través de: bi*************************@***il.com

Creative Collectives and New Earth Systems for life are very proud to present this special event: This will be a chance to get up-close and personal and gain an in-depth insight into the the issues David Holmgren is most passionate about. During his presentations he will uncover new perspectives to keep permaculture activists ahead of the game. “The interactions between Climate Chaos, Oil Shocks and Economic Contraction is confused in the minds of the public and policy makers alike. The rapidly changing context in which sustainability activists and entrepreneurs work is reshaping the context for planning and action.” This workshop is intended to help those at the front line of sustainability use the over-the-horizon thinking of leading Australian sustainability teacher, David Holmgren. Building on thirty years of permaculture teaching, Transition activism and personal example David synthesises how to survive, thrive and contribute to a better world, wracked by unfolding climate chaos, peak energy, economic contraction and geopolitical stress. The Brown Tech Energy Descent scenario is the reference point and context for the workshop, but David also draws on more recent published and unpublished work, including an Energy Descent Action Planning consultancy for Hepburn Shire Council (Vic) as well as his influential Retrofitting the Suburbs presentations that have evolved over time to the current version Surfing The Suburbs. Topics Covered: 1.Energy Descent Scenarios, Planning and Outcomes. Personal Peak Probability Profile, Mainstream Sustainability & Permaculture/Transition compared, Nested Scenarios, EDAP framework & Melliodora case study. 2. Brown Tech Signposts and sub scenarios. a. property bubble collapse; b. climate chaos disasters and c. geopolitical/energy shock. 3. Interactive group activity A personal consideration of sub-scenarios and permaculture strategies. NETWORKING DINNER: The workshop will be followed by a networkin

This event shall take a form of lecture where students in my College are made to understand that if they do not do anything about the climate now, there will be no future for them. If we act as a community watching each other, the world will be a better place for us and our children. There will also be walks to areas that have been affected by climate change.
