Introduction to Ziska

ByCarolin Waldmann


Hey there! This is Ziska!

Ziska (she/her) has lived the last years in different ecovillages and communities around Europe. Her background lies in Nature Conservation and Ecology, but the last years she has been dedicated to organising projects for different European NGOs. As a volunteer in GEN Europe, living in Arterra Bizimodu in 2022 she started to connect with the network more deeply. She is passionate about Yes To Sustainability, an initiative dedicated to creating experiences in ecovillages for youth. She cares about social change and believes in the power of communities.
Last year she co-organised the European Ecovillage Gathering by coordinating the Volunteer Dream Team. She is very excited to now have the opportunitiy to serve GEN Europe in the membership position, keep weaving the network, connecting dots, and creating opportunities. Thanks to Caro for all her amazing work before hand!

Besides all of that she loves bathing in rivers, reading (especially Harry Potter) and having a good boogie. Ziska is based in Pamplona, Spain, surrounded by dear friends.
