Volunteer with the GEN-International Platform team, Eva and Rodrigo, to help make this an amazing resource for the world.

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.

Ecovillages have spent decades researching how to unleash human creativity and solidarity in response to the challenges of our time. From indigenous villages to urban neighbourhoods and new intentional communities, GEN’s growing network is showcasing ways of living together that support both people and planet to thrive. GEN Education aims to spread that learning and inspiration to ever widening circles. The GEN Training of Trainers is an opportunity for you to become an active part of that journey, and to strengthen your capacity to teach, facilitate and train people using GEN’s unique tools and ecovillage based pedagogy. With new skills, deeper knowledge of the global ecovillage movement, and a growing community of GEN Trainers, we hope to boost your inspiration and increase your confidence as a changemaker and educator – so that you can enable others to design their own pathways to a regenerative future.

Este año queríamos darle un toque diferente a nuestras jornadas de educación. Pensamos que encuentros centrados principalmente en un intercambio de información para adultos hay muchos, por lo que en esta ocasión pretendemos darle mucha importancia a nuestr@s hij@s. Queremos que vengan niñ@s de todas las edades por eso la inscripción hasta los 16 años es gratuita para ell@s; así que nos hemos puesto manos a la obra para crear un campamento familiar donde podamos disfrutar de realizar actividades creativas juanto a nuestr@s hij@s y en un entorno natural inigualable, todo ello sin dejar de lado la estructura de encuentro como la de años anteriores donde invitaremos a colectivos y profesionales para que compartan sus experiencias y visiones con nosotros. Tendremos una comida sana y casera (avisad vegetarianos, veganos, alérgicos…) durante vuestra estancia y el alojamiento sera en una amplia zona de acampada donde podréis montar vuestras tiendas, allí conviviremos durante 5 días. Traed vuestros cubiertos, platos y vasos por favor, a nosotr@s nos es de gran ayuda en los eventos en los que hay que atender a mucha gente. La Recepcion de l@s participantes comenzara el día 5 de julio a partir de las 16:00 ( no pasa nada si llegáis un poco antes) y el evento finaliza tras la comida del día 10 de Julio. Iremos colgando las novedades sobre el festival en nuestro blog para teneros informad@s. ¡¡ Nos vemos pronto en el valle!! Organizador km28 Email: co******@**28.org
