Fundraising for ecovillages in Ukraine

March 4, 2022 by Francesca Whitlock

Our Vision

GEN Europe envisions a conscious, resilient and sustainable Europe where ecovillage and community values and lifestyles are widely adopted.

We do this by building bridges between communities, inspiring and training to enable the creation of new ones, and influencing policy and the public through the promotion of ecovillage solutions as part of the transition to a more resilient society.
