Where, How, Why, and Who Can Interact With Us?
We are open to cooperation in various areas: education, excursions and tourism, construction, craft products, and more.
Residents of ecovillages and communities offer craft products (teas, honey, delicacies, vegetables) grown using ecological technologies.
In ecovillages, you can find opportunities for green tourism and recreation.
In specific locations, you can find opportunities for experimental construction and consult with experts in building from natural materials.
GEN Ukraine offers training in community building, non-violent communication, and sociocracy (e.g., the Community Building Course).
Experts in the settlements often offer courses, training, seminars, and workshops on ecological food cultivation, pottery, and construction. Follow our social media pages: Facebook, Instagram.
