Zambia - Ecovillage Development Training

About the event

The Ecovillage Development Programme inspires communities not only to adapt to Climate Change but also to improve their quality of life and lift them towards resilience. GEN inspires local authorities and governments to include ecovillage development programmes in their strategies for the implementation of SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement.

We have learned that, while there is no one way of being an ecovillage, there are 3 core practises shared by all:

  1. Being rooted in local participatory processes
  2. Integrating social, cultural, economic and ecological dimensions in whole systems approach to sustainability
  3. Actively restoring and regenerating their social and natural environments

Together, we will

  • Explore the ecovillage concept and the work and contributions of different types of ecovillages across the world
  • Understand ecovillage development as a tool for climate change adaptation and reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals
  • Become familiar with a framework for holistic sustainability grounded in decades of hands-on experience and design of resilient communities worldwide
  • Practice participatory whole-systems design, using the Ecovillage Playing Cards
  • Explore assets, needs and potential next steps of a group, project or community in each dimension of sustainability
  • Select specific learning areas (demand driven training) e.g. community building skills, seed multiplication, social entrepreneurship, water catchment systems, etc. to dive into

You can choose to join us only for the first week or for the whole training.

Facilitation Team: Kosha Joubert, Mugove Walter Nyika, Linda Kabaira, … and more!

La GEN (Red Global de Ecoaldeas de Europa) se complace en informarles que la 20º edición de su Conferencia estival se desarrollará este año en España, concretamente del 4 al 8 de Julio en la comunidad de Arterra Bizimodu en Artieda, Navarra. El evento es abierto a todos los públicos. Como todos los años, unas 400 personas llegadas de todas las ecoaldeas de Europa se reunirán para intercambiar experiencias, talleres, charlas y trabajos prácticos sobre los diferentes aspectos de la vida en comunidad. Temas como son las economías alternativas, la soberanía alimentaria, las energías renovables, gestión de relaciones humanas, facilitación de grupos, modelos de gobernanza, procesos de toma de decisiones colectivas, bioarquitectura y activismo político: una agenda inspiradora y diversa. Los participantes podrán elegir entre asistir a las talleres monotemáticos, talleres prácticos o profundizar más en algún tema a través de talleres que contarán con varias sesiones. Habrán mesas redondas y participativas sobre diferentes temas. También, durante todo el encuentro, se montará una feria/exposición (ESTEXPO) de los diferentes inventos, artilugios y soluciones técnicas sustentables que se utilizan en las comunidades para afrontar los retos del Cambio Climático y de la escasez de las materias primas. En paralelo, habrá oportunidades de compartir con los miembros de la Red Europea, y de otras redes afines (permaculture, Pueblos en Transición, Gaia, movimiento Agroecológico,etc), mercadillo, noches de espectáculos y más sorpresas. La GEN (Global Ecovillage Network) fue fundada hace 20 años y cuenta con representación en más de 100 países de los 5 continentes.
