GEN Europe launches web service for members

December 10, 2020 by Francesca Whitlock

Being a member of GEN Europe is first and foremost about connection: meeting and learning from other communities facing the same challenges, learning from their innovations and sharing in their success. Friendships are forged and projects and collaborations are developed across borders. But as an organisation we also want to give back to our network, our members, identifying ecovillage needs and creating solutions that can be shared and adapted to meet them. And today we're excited to announce a new benefit for GEN Europe member ecovillages: a personalized Ecovillage Website…

Zooming in on our first online General Assembly

October 22, 2020 by Francesca Whitlock

As ecovillagers, we value in-person connection: the ability to sense the mood of a room when facilitating, to truly see one another - and of course, to hug your friends! So when Covid-19 forced the cancellation of our General Assembly, we were nervous: would our GA be just one more of the exhausting online meetings we're all becoming so used to? We had nothing to fear: thanks to an experienced team of online facilitators who knew how to raise the energy of a Zoom room with music, games and online…

Launching the first Online Ecovillage Gathering

October 20, 2020 by Francesca Whitlock

It was with a very heavy heart that we had to take the decision earlier this year to cancel the European Ecovillage Gathering. We were looking forward to meeting, learning, celebrating and connecting in Nature Community, but global events had other plans for us - and now our focus is on caring for our communities closer to home. But we were determined that this wouldn't keep us apart from our global friends and family. Which is why we're so excited to present the first ever Online European Gathering: a response…

Ecovillage Incubator Training this October

July 20, 2020 by Francesca Whitlock

The CLIPS community learning incubator is one of GEN Europe's flagship projects, based on a wealth of ecovillage wisdom: a solution oriented programme to guide community-led projects in their initial steps as well as and for existing initiatives that struggle with problems or simply need revitalisation. We're pleased to say that another round of Erasmus+ funding has been approved for the project, enabling us and our partners across Europe to offer a five-day training in the CLIPS materials and methods - tools for group analysis, facilitation and action planning -…

Create and Connect – a new learning journey

June 12, 2020 by Francesca Whitlock

For many years, we've received the same question again and again: "I want to start an ecovillage. What should I do"? And now, in these uncertain times when many people are searching for new pathways and alternatives ways of living in harmony with their values, we felt like we couldn't wait any longer to provide our own answer. That's why we're excited to launch a brand new learning journey to help people take practical steps towards realising their ecovillage dreams. The course fuses together decades of wisdom in ecovillage living…

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.
