Ecovillages have long been places of alternative living and solutions, but what is their potential and impact beyond the village itself? Hear Sabine and Macaco tell the stories of two of the oldest and most established ecovillages: Tamera in Portugal and Damanhur in Italy. Discuss what the role of ecovillages is, can, and should be in transforming our complex contemporary reality.
