Ecovillages are communities where people live together with a shared vision and purpose. These communities are hubs of sustainability and resilience, creating real-world examples of how we can live in balance with others, and the planet.
At GEN Europe, we’re committed to promoting and supporting ecovillages and regenerative lifestyles across Europe and beyond. As a non-profit association, we support the European network of ecovillages and offer resources, events, education and inspiration to help existing ecovillages to thrive and new ones to flourish.
We currently have over 100 member ecovillages and 18 national and bioregional ecovillage networks. Interested in joining our community? You can become a member as an individual or as an ecovillage, helping to build a brighter future for us all. Join us today and discover the power of living sustainably!
Here is an inspirational quote from a member about how meaningful it is to be part of GEN EU
Our Members
As a network, we are powered by our members: over 100 ecovillages and aspiring ecovillage projects and 18 national ecovillage networks in 26 countries and counting. Our members collaborate on projects, exchange ideas and expertise, support one another in times of need, and network and build friendships at our events.
We also welcome individual members, who are not necessarily ecovillagers themselves but wish to show support for the wider movement. You can become an individual member here (link).
