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.

Welcome to the Donuimun Eco-Village Common House, a place to share and learn, rest and play, in the heart of Seoul’s most appealing new neighbourhood. This project interprets the inaugural Seoul Biennale of Architecture & Urbanism theme, Imminent Commons, as a call to practical and collective action. We take the public occasion of the Biennale to imagine—at once playfully and seriously—that after the exhibition closes, this cultural zone might be retrofitted to become a new eco-village for Seoul (inspired by the Los Angeles Eco-Village). The resulting community would reuse these buildings to house its residents equitably, incubate enterprises of right livelihood, and enhance the ecological and sociable values of the spaces it shares with its neighbours and visitors. In the spirit of the Recycling Common, our exhibition at 35-40 Saemunan-ro contains a Give and Take shelf, where Biennale visitors are invited to donate and adopt pre-loved household items, from utensils to clothing to plants. Many Biennale visitors have already been taking items home, and we also encourage people to bring clean, working items to share with others. Items can simply be placed on the designated shelves within the exhibition. Thank you for your collaboration! 서울에서 가장 호감 가는 새 이웃의 중심부에서 공유하고 배우고, 쉬면서 놀 수도 있는 돈의문 이코빌리지(Eco-Village) 커먼하우스(공동주택)에 오신 것을 환영합니다. 이 프로젝트는 비엔날레 개최 주제인 ‘공유도시’를 실용적이고 집단적인 행동의 요구로 해석합니다. 우리는 공개석상과 같은 비엔날레를 장난스럽고도 진지하게, 전시가 끝났을 떄 이 문화적 공간이 서울의 새로운 이코빌리지로 재탄생하는 모습을 상상해봅니다. 그로 말미암아 탄생한 공동체는 이곳의 건물을 재사용하여 주민들을 공평하게 수용하고, 올바른 사회적 기업들을 유치하며, 이웃과 방문객들이 함께하여 이들이 공유하는 공간의 친환경(생태계)적, 사회적 가치를 향상시킬 것입니다. 다시쓰기란 주제에 맞도록, 세문안로 35-40에서 열리는 저희의 전시에서는 비엔날레를 찾으시는 모든 분들께서 사랑받던 자신의 식기부터 옷까지 물품들을 기증하고 또 다른 분들의 기증품을가져올 수 있는 교환코너가 마련되어 있습니다. 이미 많은 방문자분들께서 기증된 물품들을 집으로 가져가시고 있으며 저희는 방문객들의
