Exciting news - last month we launched our new map, now it is our brand new website. Take the chance and have a look around! :) Also there are more exciting features to come this year, so stay tuned!
The ticket sales will be launched in less than a week on Friday the 1st of March - we hope to see you there :)
Please note that this year, we’re doing things a little differently. The Gathering ticket is now combined with a year-long GEN Europe membership.
For this reason, we will provide a separate registration form for all our delegates which will be shared with you directly via email after the launch.
Stay tuned and keep an eye out on your inbox! :)

International research on ecovillages and the climate crisis
A call is opened for ecovillages and intentional communities in the State of Bavaria, to participate in international research on the climate crisis and extreme events, being carried out in Brazil and Germany.
The objective of the research "The sociopolitical face of the climate crisis and extreme events: study with ecovillages in São Paulo and Bavaria" is to investigate how communities and territories are incorporating climate change and the impacts of extreme events into their lifestyle and relations.
Did you know that the concept ‘Ecovillage’ came into existence in 1991 and by the mid-90s, many intentional communities had begun to call themselves ecovillages?
The founding impulse of GEN is marked by the conference ‘Ecovillages and Sustainable Communities – Models for the 21st Century’ that took place in Findhorn in 1995.
Curious to learn more about how it all started?
Check out this article as part of the Findhorn collective autobiography project "Celebrating on Incredible Family".
