These beautiful cards are a flexible and creative way to explore whole systems regeneration.

After gaining experience from working with the cards in communities and organisations in 35 countries on all continents, GEN has gathered abundant feedback to upgrade and finetune GEN’s 32 Ecovillage Principles which translate into our 32 Ecovillage Design Cards.

The cards are divided into five groups – four Areas of Regeneration (culture, economy, ecology and social) arranged around one central path of transformation: integral design.

Here you can discover all 32 Ecovillage Design Cards in a virtual presentation on the Map of Regeneration, where you can zoom into each of the five groups. (Portuguese version, Japanese version).

GEN’s Ecovillage Design Cards are available for digital download in ten different languages, and optionally with corresponding SDGs for each Ecovillage Principle as a practical guide to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each card is composed of the Ecovillage Principle, the corresponding Sustainable Development Goals, and questions of the Ecovillage Impact Assessment (Level 1).

Together, they make up a tool for play, reflection, dialogue, learning, research and design – for individuals, groups, projects, organisations and communities.
