Collaboration in Ukraine: ecovillages, science, government, public. Research on ecovillages in Ukraine. Establishing dialogue between ecovillages, scientists etc.

The project will promote the integration of Ukrainian ecovillages into the world’s space.

Until 2018, the world community had almost no knowledge about the ecovillages of Ukraine. “Green School”, GEN-Ukraine and lecturer of the Department of Philosophy of KPI  Petrova Svetlana found that:

– some ecovillages don’t want to be  members of GEN and be affixed to the GEN map;

– few of the settlers speak English;

– settlers almost do not share information in the Internet about eco-technologies and how to build a community.

– Environmental technologies and peculiarities of building relationships in the ecovillages of Ukraine are quite interesting and promising.

Research tasks:

1) visiting all ecovillages of Ukraine and collecting information, conducting sociological surveys;

2) scientific research  to find out what goals of sustainable development in ecovillages are followed, as well as the generalization of the experience of building social relations in ecovillages and its philosophical comprehension.
