Play with Sustainability
These 34 cards gorgeously illustrate and distill years of experimentation and learning within our global network, as well as current research on resilience, sustainability and participatory design.
Ecovillage Design Cards are also a fruit of GEN’s longstanding collaboration with Gaia Education, and of our commitment to develop and promote holistic, community-led approaches to resilience and thriving on planet Earth.
Ecovillage Design Cards are divided into five groups – four dimensions of sustainability arranged around one central path. The four dimensions are ecology, economy, culture and society. The path is whole systems design.
Together, they make up a tool for play, reflection, dialogue, learning, research and design – for individuals, groups, projects, organisations and communities.
It also contains a booklet with inspiration and instructions for some ways of using the cards, and our warmest invitation to innovate and create more.
