Resumo: The office is based in Spain, and consists of a vibrant staff complement working alongside the organization council to make its vision a reality. An eco-village is an intentional or traditional community that is consciously designed through locally owned, participatory processes to re-generate social and natural environments. The four dimensions of sustainability (ecology, economy, the social and the cultural) are all integrated into a holistic approach. As such, ecovillages are dynamic and hands-on living and learning centres that strive to develop solutions for society as a whole.

Many of our members share their developed skills and best practices in seminars held at their premises, whereby the skills as well as the personal attitudes needed for a societal change toward long-term sustainability are experienced directly and therefore deeply recognised. One of the organization's most important aims is to spread these exemplary solutions to a wider audience worldwide. The organization currently has an NGO and consultative status in the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) and is a partner of UNITAR, the United Nations; Institute for Training and Research.
The organization puts an equal emphasis on every one of the four above-mentioned dimensions of long- term sustainability. Our work focuses on networking, information dissemination and promotion of best practice examples, education and advocacy:

NETWORKING – facilitating sharing of experience, expertise and best practice between members of the network and interested individuals and other organisations, online and through networking events like our annual conference with about 600 participants from the majority of the European countries.

EDUCATION – promoting the development of curricula derived from good practice within eco-villages and organising international educational and networking events like conferences, workshops and training.

INFORMATION DISSEMINATION – transmitting in person and through online gathering and distributing news stories, articles and research from within eco-villages that help share the models, methods and innovations developed with the wider world.

ADVOCACY – promoting policies and practices for a more just, green, sustainable and equitable society. A part of our work is to promote the eco-village concept and vision gained through our exemplary experiences at UN events, such as the COP.

What we see, when we look into the future we strive for, is:
A conscious, resilient and sustainable Europe where ecovillage and community values and lifestyles are widely adopted to promote transformation and life-generating culture.

We build a network of ecovillages across Europe, including regional and national ecovillage networks, which promote ecovillage strategies and ecovillage values, share knowledge and support the realisation of thriving communities

Perfil: This long-term ESC project was designed for a young people age 18-30 who are interested in ecovillages and sustainable living, and who want to gain experience and participate in network activities such as communications, and IT tasks as well as in community-building, self-development and work in intercultural teams.
During your months of stay you will get to know the life of a Spanish ecovillage and the European network of ecovillages. You will receive support and mentoring from staff members as well as ecovillage residents.

Tarefas: Like the staff members of our small team, volunteers are expected to pitch in with a variety of tasks as they arise, whether it’s logistics for an event, or administration and other tasks. The participants will work as part of the international team formed of the organization volunteers and staff. Supervisors will help the volunteers define and work towards their personal development objectives.
