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.

Symposium 2016 ​The Intentional Communities Research and Enterprise group will be hosting their second symposium entitled ‘Intentional Communities – Living the Good Life’ on the theme of sustainability and low impact living. The day will consist of presentations from academics and researchers with expertise in the field, a series of themed workshops from practitioners, and culminating in a panel discussion where you will have the opportunity to put your questions to a panel made up of people who can who can help get things started – help with finance, planning and even politics. The full range of speakers is yet to be confirmed, but we hope to have a range of participants including specialists in eco-developments, funding options, planning, and affordable housing. The symposium will be held on Thursday 16th June at the SWALEC stadium (previously the Glamorgan Cricket Club) in Cardiff. The stadium is easily accessible from the city centre and about a 20 minute walk from the main train and bus stations. There is limited free on-site parking and Sophia gardens pay and display car park is a short walk away. There will be a nominal charge of £27​ per head which includes all refreshments and a buffet lunch. We hope that you will be able to join us, for what should be an exciting day and the opportunity to renew old acquaintances and make new contacts.​​​ https://web13-staging.cardiffmet.ac.uk/health/intentionalcommunities/Pages/Symposium-2015.aspx

Desde la Ecoaldea Los Guindales y Colectivo Paissano les invitamos a participar en el curso formación sobre el agua, el recurso mas importante para la vida. Durante los 10 días de experiencia de convivencia y compartir vamos a enfocarnos principalmente en el tema del diseño y construcción de un sistema de bajo costo para tratar las aguas residuales y reutilizarlas para riego. Además, trataremos de cubrir otros aspectos del uso consciente del agua, como su potabilización, aprovechamiento de agua lluvia y creación de pequeños ecosistemas acuáticos – estanques y piscinas naturales. ¿Para quién? El curso está dirigido a: Personas interesadas en autoconstrucción de un sistema de fitodepuración y aprovechamiento en sus casas Pequeños constructores y arquitectos que quieren profundizar el diseño de sistemas de aprovechamiento de agua Personas interesadas en soluciones accesibles para mejorar los hábitos del uso y la calidad del agua, tanto en el ámbito rural como urbano Todos interesados en profundizar y entender mejor el ciclo natural del agua y la interactuación humana dentro de él Parte teórica: Ciclo natural del agua – ¿porqué tratar aguas residuales? Fitodepuración de aguas residuales – parámetros fisicoquímicos y biológicos de aguas residuales, tipos de tratamiento, herramientas para el diseño de un sistema casero de fitodepuración con consejos prácticos Potabilización del agua – tipos de contaminación y estrategias de su eliminación, potabilización y mejora de calidad del agua urbana y rural Aprovechamiento de agua lluvia – análisis climático, cálculos del potencial de aprovechamiento, almacenamiento, tratamiento y posibles usos Pequeños ecosistemas acuáticos – estanques y piscinas naturales – parámetros importantes para su equilibrio y tipos de plantas acuáticas, impermeabilizac
