NextGENOA

NextGENOA is a network of young people from the Asian & Oceania region.

NextGENOA is the regional network of national/local NextGEN groups and aims to expand its impact through supporting and creating as many local/national group, that take action for positive change. The highest purpose of NextGENOA is to have as many young people as possible be involved in creating a positive and sustainable future in any aspect and at any capacity they have.

NextGENOA is a network of young people, who are committed to caring for the earth by practising and promoting sustainable living and Ecovillage values within the Oceania and Asia region; potentially beyond the region.
The highest purpose of NextGENOA is to have as many young people as possible be involved in creating a positive and sustainable future in any aspect and at any capacity they have.

Four Pillars of NextGENOA:
Education
NextGENOA beliefs that Education is key to creating change for a sustainable future. NextGENOA works to provide education that raises awareness around our current unsustainable society or what Joana Macy call “The Industrial Growth Society”. NextGENOA aims to empower young people to become part of the solution to a more sustainable future. This education should help young people to have a deep understanding of the Industrial Growth Society and its impact on life on earth as well as providing good knowledge of sustainable and holistic solutions.
This education can mean full EDE course (one month Ecovillage Design Education Course) or a mini EDE, Deep Ecology Workshops, NextGEN Spirit Process, Nature/Wilderness Retreats/ Natural Building Courses, Permaculture courses or any kind of education that is designed to provide learning to create positive change towards a more holistic sustainable future.

Inspiration
NextGENOA works to inspire other young people, youth, children to take action to create change. This can be happening through education, publications or articles, stories, website or Facebook, youth exchange, exposure trips etc.

Action
NextGENOA not only talks about creating change but they are actually actively involved in creating change in their local areas like tree plantings projects, school gardening, cleaning up a river, managing rubbish, campaigning against plastic etc. Whichever action it is it has to be implemented based on Ecovillage values like collaboration, participation, connection, transparency, growth etc.

Connection
NextGENOA aims to widen its impact by widening its circle. NextGENOA has created the NextGEN Spirit Process which acts like a platform for more young people to get involved and be part of the movement. This platform gives a clear guideline on how to start a NextGEN group and how to widen the movement. This process is evolving as we speak and the different local NextGENOA groups will add their experiences and knowledge to the NextGEN Spirit Process and help in its evolution as the movement grows wider.
