The Global Ecovillage Network, commonly known as GEN, is an international network connecting and supporting ecovillages and related organisations. It works through global and regional networks and provides directories, learning resources, events and other tools for people interested in ecovillages and community-based regenerative living.
GEN opportunities and events
Content in this archive may include volunteer roles directly with GEN or its regional networks, European Solidarity Corps placements, GEN gatherings, organisational updates and resources that can help people find ecovillages or opportunities within the wider network.
GEN should not be confused with the general Eco-villages archive. An ecovillage does not automatically belong to this section simply because it follows similar principles. This page is specifically for content directly connected with the Global Ecovillage Network or one of its official regional networks.
