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.

For the first time, work camp “Stara Planina” will be held in village Visocka Rzana on Stara planina (Old mountain), 27km from Pirot, 700m above the sea level in South-Eastern part of Serbia. It will take place during the first two weeks of July supported by WWOOF Serbia as an official camp partner. The camp goal is to adapt the old school in the village Visocka Rzana, educate youth and motivate them to be active citizens in preserving the nature and other values for the sake of generations to come. Inspired by this sprit, WWOOF Serbia will organize a green building workshop for the participants and bring some WWOOFers to support maintaining the camp. Campers will have a chance to participate in various workshops (activism, ecology, permaculture, poetry, storytelling, diving..) and sport events, to hike a lot so they can see the beauty of Stara planina and local sightseeing such as as church in the cave with the picture of bald Jesus, waterfall Tupavica, Rosomac Gorge, springs and many others and they will have the possibility to swim in the mountain river Visocica. Work camp “Stara Planina” is the initiative of a non-profit organization “Pirot E Publika” supported by local partners “Sveti Sava” school from Pirot and Tourist Organization Pirot aiming to introduce the spirit of voluntarism, develop and improve rural and eco-tourism in Stara Planina since 2008. Last year camp is named as one of the TOP 10 youth projects in Serbia in 2013 by the umbrella Association of Serbian Youth. *** Accommodation and Food: In tents in the school yard or, in case it rains, inside the school classroom. 3 meals per day, prepared by campers themselves. The school is in really bad condition, but there are two classrooms that can be used as a storage and sleeping place. Campers will use solar showers and toilets in the school yard. We are looking forwards to face those challenges together with participants. Special remarks: Excursions to beautiful places on the moun

Date: Saturday, February 7 Time: 12:00–13:30 UTC Join us for a transformative 90-minute webinar exploring how communities can reclaim credit and money systems to serve regenerative futures. Drawing on wisdom from pioneers like Margaret Kennedy, Ross Jackson, and the Zapatistas, alongside proven models from organizations like STRO and the State Bank of North Dakota, we’ll examine the root structures of our current economic system and discover pathways toward mutualized, community-based alternatives. This interactive gathering brings together voices from the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) and regenerative movements worldwide to explore how credit—when controlled by communities rather than private interests—can become a powerful tool for social and ecological transformation. Through presentations, dialogue, breakout reflections, and collective sensing, we’ll investigate what it means to build trust-based economic systems that flow resources where they’re truly needed. Whether you’re an ecovillage member, community organizer, or someone curious about economic alternatives, this webinar offers practical insights, inspiring case studies, and an opportunity to connect with a global network committed to systemic change. We’ll also introduce new collaborative platforms designed to strengthen our interconnected movement.
