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.

Su fundamento moderno se basa en las teorías sistémicas. El objetivo más importante es el de desarrollar la coparticipación y co-responsabilidad de los actores, otorgando poder a la inteligencia colectiva al servicio del éxito de la organización. La palabra sociocracia fue inventada por Auguste Comte (1798-1857).4 Sus raíces provienen del latín societas (sociedad) y del griego krátos (autoridad) : el gobierno de socios, es decir, de personas ligadas por relaciones significativas, diferente a dêmos (démocratie), masa de individuos que comparten valores comunes. fuente: wikipedia Dirigido a: Facilitadoras/es, mediadoras/es, educadoras/es, emprendedoras/es sociales, gestores, activistas sociales, animadores/as socioculturales, participantes de organizaciones interesadas en mejorar su funcionamiento grupal, y también todas aquellas personas interesadas en profundizar sobre como facilitar cambios positivos y satisfactorios en sus organizaciones, grupos y comunidades de una forma participativa, innovadora y potenciando la diversidad.
