GEN AFRICA Conference 2016

About the event

GEN Africa in partnership with GEN international will hold the upcoming Conference at Ghana Permaculture Institute (GPI) in Techiman from December 1 – 6, 2016.

35 active leaders and advisors of the network will meet in order to consolidate the work we have done so far and plan the way forward. The conference will include the General Assembly.

The conference aims at achieving the following objectives:

  • Celebrate official registration of GEN Africa
  • Strengthen GEN Africa, review the strategy and plan next steps
  • Meet as a General Assembly: reporting on activities and finances for 2014/2015, re-elect new members into the Council etc.
  • Re-examine how we function as a council and as a GEN Region
  • Develop functional partnerships
  • Evaluate targets for 2016, identify targets for 2017 and align with GEN International targets.
  • Identify more people in the network to support with specific tasks (i.e. fundraising and website management)
  • Finalizing memberships
  • Networking and sharing within the Region

Are you inspired by this movement or are you already implementing Ecovillage programs in your country? Then you don’t want to miss this opportunity.
Unfortunately we are not able to bring everyone to this conference by way of funding and venue capacity, but you are welcome to let us know if you could fund your own costs to be able to join us all.

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.
