Ecovillage Design Cards with SDGs Download (English)

Ecovillage Design Cards with SDGs (English only)

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

This resource is available for digital download in different languages. Here we also add (in the English version only for now) the corresponding SDGs for each Ecovillage Principle as a practical guide to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

So each Ecovillage Design Card is composed of the Ecovillage Principle, the corresponding Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 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.

Use them to:

• Explore the more beautiful world we know in our hearts is possible
• See the interconnectedness between all areas of regeneration
• Identify your unique contribution to a regenerative way of living
• Design pathways into a regenerative future with your community or team
• Experience fields of collective wisdom
