About the course

Overview

At What If: Ecovillage Solutions for Extraordinary Times, GEN Europe brought together renowned experts, visionaries and on-the-ground practitioners to help us make sense of the complex times we live in. Together we explored how ecovillages and intentional communities are awakening to opportunities through the Covid crisis and how together we can transform this moment to create a culture of regeneration and resilience for all.

This package gathers talks and workshops from the event’s Community Incubation strand, where we asked: How can we start new ecovillages and strengthen existing ones throughout Europe? From the intricacies of communication and power in communities, to how to resource our communities and an introduction to the Community Learning Incubator, this package is a must-see for any aspiring ecovillage founder – or anyone who works in groups of any kind and wants to learn to live and work better together.
Note: this package contains recordings from a past live event. Some of the workshops may contain instructions for breakout activities which took place in the live event.

This package features approximately six hours of content including…

Resourcing the Transition panel discussion with Robert Hall and Dicte Frost
Introduction to CLIPS, the Community Learning Incubator
Conflict and Communication with Genny Carraro
Scaling Up Regeneration – Ingredients for Successful Community-Municipality Collaboration
Visible and Invisible Power with Mauge Cañada and Genny Carraro

Frequently asked questions

I’ve just arrived here, where should I start?

If you are just getting to know GEN, we recommend you start with the GEN Intro course which will give you the frame of how the network and organisation flow.

A live course will be offered at set times and invites you to engage with a facilitator and other participants. A self-paced course means you can engage in the content as your schedule allows. We also offer courses where you engage in the content yourself and then join gently facilitated group discussions to connect with others.

Visit the Community Events page to see what is available or contact your region.

No! We strive to serve a range of audiences and believe that ecovillage tools can be applied in a range of contexts.

Sometimes. We operate on keeping course fees as low as possible while paying our collaborators fairly. When the essential costs are covered, we can sometimes offer scholarships. Contact Us. 

We would be happy to consider it. Please send a proposal via our contact form. Be sure to include your background on the topic (length of experience and in which contexts), where you have offered the course previously, and your suggested format (live, self paced, pricing etc.)
