Basic members also have selected features. Eco Village Voice intends to provide education on many aspects of ecovillage living, as well as foster alliances and encourage communication between other ecovillages – to help each other and for the sake of our planet’s wellbeing. We aim to celebrate regenerative and permaculture principles – care for land, care for people and fair share. Eco Village Voice promotes various activities of people and groups from ecovillages and intentional communities, specifically focusing on permaculture, climate change adaptation, sustainable industries, also arts and culture, etc with the aim to provide education on appropriate technologies to replace harmful, unsustainable practices. Eco Village Voice supports initiatives of the Global Ecovillage Network including GEN Australia and GENOA (Oceania & Asia) and seek collaboration with other like-minded groups such as International Communal Studies Association and also Foundation for Intentional Community. Eco Village Voice supports events with photo/video journalism and promotions for conferences, educational activities, workshops, markets, etc. and welcomes enquiries and articles from field reporters.

I am proposing to meet to watch the summit talks together, discuss what comes up for us and share ideas and dreams for starting a new project.

Estamos invitando a diversos agentes de cambio con inicitivas en Europa a una inmersión de dos días que tendrá lugar el 18 y 19 de Octubre. El encuentro tiene un coste total de 75 euros, incluyendo la comida de los dos días y los materiales. Es un coste pequeño para cubrir los gastos de sala, materiales y los desplazamientos de las personas que son invitadas para abrir el encuentro con experiencias inspiradoras (Jason Nardi de RIPESS, Joana Crowson del Trabajo que reconecta, Andy Smith de Process work y Diversity matters, Robert Hall de la Red Global de Ecoaldeas-GEN). Usaremos la filosofía Elos como hilo conductor del encuentro, para dar continuidad en el programa. Con este encuentro generaremos un espacio de intercambio entre diversos agentes de cambio; personas, iniciativas, movimientos sociales, y organizaciones de distintas partes del continente. Juntos y juntas intercambiaremos experiencias y visiones sobre el crecimiento de movimientos en todas las áreas de la Sostenibilidad y crearemos un espacio para intercambiar aprendizajes, fortalecer alianzas y profundizar en el impacto de nuestras acciones a nivel individual y colectivo. Queremos que estéis en el encuentro, porque nos parece muy importante vuestra forma de impulsar el cambio. Durante el encuentro habrá una feria de intercambio de experiencias, por lo que cada iniciativa puede poner un pequeño stand o un sencillo punto de información. Además, si venís de fuera de Madrid, hay posibilidades de alojamiento para todo el grupo en conjunto para fortalecer el intercambio con la convivencia.

Join us at ReTribe/NorthernShire for watching the first day’s presentation or two from “Communities for Future” online summit on a projector, with pillows and blankets and carpeted floor provided. Then, we can choose to keep watching, or share our thoughts over a tea and some banana bread. You are welcome to contribute food/snacks/drinks to share for the after-viewing party.
