A Global Network of Hope

January 11, 2017 by mudbrick

The Global Ecovillage Network is a worldwide network supporting the ecovillage and intentional community movement. It includes both traditional villages in developing countries that wish to retain their lifestyles with green technologies and newer intentional and sustainable communities and villages developed in western countries. GEN also embraces movements such as transition towns, co-houses and the permaculture movement which have similar philosophies and motivations as GEN.

GEN internationally not only networks communities from around the world but also is an advocate in international government policy for sustainable futures and has a relationship with the UN as an advisory body.

GEN also has an educational arm, Gaia Education, which teaches the principals of ecovillage design education (EDE) based on the four dimensions in over 30 countries around the world
