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.

This year, we decided to enrich our EDE’s journey and to have a stronger intention, rhythm and flow of each week. On top of the EDE curriculum, we brought different systems together like: the CLIPS model, Dragon Dreaming, Works that reconnect, The Medicine Wheel, the seasons and elements, and to design what we called the Miro’s journey; our main frame (“miro/miraud” in french means somebody who does not see well, so it’s for us, the journey to open our eyes … to Life). It involved 4 main steps: Me and You, Me and Us, Us and the World, and At the heart of Life. This frame helped us to place the different EDE’s modules in our program with more structure and coherency and to design a clearer container for us, participants and speakers. 1 person from Belgium, 1 person from Burkina-Faso, 1 person from England, 3 people from Switzerland and 19 people from France. 14 women (56%), 9 men (36%) and 2 non-binary (8%) From 23 to 70 years old, the average age being 36 years old: 56% of the people were between 23 and 35 years old 16% of the people were between 35 and 50 years old 28% of the people were between 50 years old and + We had a beautiful diversity of all sorts of people coming from all walks of life and all social and economic backgrounds: therapists, students, teachers, architects, educators, entrepreneurs, artists, business and finance managers, nomads etc. The EDE’s experience is creating strong bonds and connections between people which create a lot of synergies and opportunities for the post-EDE. And as we organized 4 days of festival after the EDE where the previous year participants were invited, the EDE family could grow bigger and the field of possibilities expands. Let’s meet again next year for the 3rd edition ! Participant quotes : “I have a deep desire to change my way of living and the EDE opened a lot of opportunities to make it happen: changing the place where I live and my habitat,
